Hi All,

Good Morning. I have only detail records in an 80 char fixed length input file. I wants to write output(83 bytes) file with Header(with Date in YYMMDD format) ,Details records and Trailer with counts(Only detail records count).

Thanks in advance. I tried using Header1 and Date1, But i count not reformat date into YYMMDD format.

Input file - 80 bytes - FB.

Region#(1 to 6) Card #(7 to 24), Customer name(25 to 34) Spaces(35 to 80)

XXXXXX123456789012345678GEORGE W.T
XXXXXX987654321012345678ORGNGE TBD

Expected Output file. - 83 Bytes - FB.

HDR+ 6 spaces + 18 zeroes + Date in YYMMDD format + Spaces
BDY + Input 1st rec.
BDY + Input 1st rec.
TRL + 6 spaces + 18 nines + detail record count + Spaces

Did you search for DATE and YYMMDD? If so, you should have found ibmmainframes.com/about52881.html which has exactly what you need.
