Hi Manitesh_kumar,


From FileAID primary option menu, make use of Option 3.3.Copy (Selective record copying for all file types including PDS members).

Hope this helps.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Selection criteria usage ===> T

Then use option 1 where you'll have to give the following:

Number of records to select ===> 20

Hi Manitesh_kumar,

I know a crude method for solving ur problem. First create a Flat file of Record Length 20, then U try to copy a file to this Flat file using File-Aid.
Only 20 characters of the mother file will be copied to the child file but ofcourse U will get a warning '"FROM" DATASET SPE RCD(S) TRUNCATED/PADDED'

Cool!!

Thanks,

Mani
