Try to write a JCL to read a file with PS to something readable, if I used (1,131), then output is same as input file , but now I try to convert PS to Syd but failed , first 2 fields are date field in PS format x’20201231’. What wrong of mine one ? Thanks



Code:
outrec fields= (1,4, pd , to=zd, length=8, 5, 125)

0. This is not JCL!!! Not at all!!!!!

1. Blanks are not allowed in the middle of parameter string

2. The date format (in pos. 1-4) is not PD. (RTFM)
You need to use
Code:
 OUTREC BUILD=(1,4,HEX,5,125)
