I want to divide a particular field in a file by 2. Basically if the field has values 2,8,6 etc it should contain 1,4,3 etc
I can do it by writing a program or downloading into an excel. Is there any other way to do this?

abracadabra,

Please post with a meaningful topic titles. More over it does not match the content of the post. I am editing the topic title to match the post content.

You can use math functions(add,subtract,multiply,divide) with sort products.

ex:
Code:


//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN   DD *
002
008
006
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  OUTREC FIELDS=(1,3,ZD,DIV,+2,EDIT=(TTT))
/*


Hope this helps...

Cheers
