Hello All,

I have a requirement to concatenate two fields from input files to a new field in output. Below are the details,

Input field:
05 IN-NOTES-3 PIC N(40) USAGE IS NATIONAL.
05 IN-NOTES-4 PIC N(40) USAGE IS NATIONAL.

Output field:
05 OUT-NOTES PIC N(80) USAGE NATIONAL.

I tried the below. Is this the right way?

STRING IN-NOTES-3 DELIMITATED BY SIZE
IN-NOTES-4 DELIMITATED BY SIZE
INTO OUT-NOTES
END-STRING

Please use code tags for your examples.

If you tried what you have shown, what results did you get?

DELIMITATED is not a valid keyword, suggest you try DELIMITED and see what happens.

Garry.
