Hello All,

I have a file from which I need to extract a number and prefix with zeroes

Code:

"a1234-2345-7890_1","abcde"
"a1234-2345-7890_12","abcde"
"a1234-2345-7890_23","abcde"
"a1234-2345-7890_4","abcde"
"a1234-2345-7890_5","abcde"
"a1234-2345-7890_600","abcde"
"a1234-2345-7890_7","abcde"
"a1234-2345-7890_58","abcde"


I need to extract the number between _ and ",", and pad with zeroes, to make it 9 bytes. Till the position of _ it is fixed.
It is a FB file with lrecl as 1000.

my output should look like
Code:

000000001
000000012
000000023
000000004
000000005
000000600
000000007
000000058


Thanks in Advance

Code:
INREC PARSE=(%=(STARTAT=C'_',FIXLEN=1), 
             %01=(STARTAT=NUM,FIXLEN=9)),
  BUILD=(%01,SFF,M11)

Use ABSPOS for the starting offset if you want to have it even more simplified.

Code:
****** *************
000001 000000001   
000002 000000012   
000003 000000023   
000004 000000004   
000005 000000005   
000006 000000600   
000007 000000007   
000008 000000058   
****** *************
