There is no such instruction; you will have to do it programmatically.

I explain...

Select MIO_CAMPO
from MIA_TAB ;

MIO_CAMPO is long 1000 char;

In fileoutput i have:
2 byte with lenght and after MIO_CAMPO.

I want only the value of MIO_CAMPO...

It is possible only with query or i have to take other jcl steps?

What do you mean by this? What has JCL got to do with it? JCL only tells the operating system which program(s) you want run and the resources required by the program(s).

first learn to use code tags and second you don't tell the requirements properly or you ain't clear yourself, you are now talking in bits and bytes than simplying your needs.glad whatever you did works for you.
