I'm having a splice problem involving duplicates. I have inserted "protection" records per previous posts I've read to preserve the duplicates, but can't seem to get what I need.

Here is the JCL (prior to adding the protection dataset) and the layouts of the two datasets being spliced. They are both LRECL=80, RECFM=FB:

[code:1:125d715297]//RATEGROS DD DSN=*.GROSSUM,VOL=REF=*.GROSSUM,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
// DD DSN=*.TMPRATES,VOL=REF=*.TMPRATES,DISP=(OLD,PASS)

'GROSSUM':

----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7----+----8
0982WMW22MN....

Sterling price,

If I understand correctly , all you wanted to do is to overlay the contents of tmprates on to the grossum.

I assumed that your input files are both 80 bytes and of FB recfm.

try this.

[code:1:6e6de5ef92]
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//GROSSUM DD *
0982WMW22MN....ĸ054301 JUNE
0982WR 22MN.....)054301 JUNE
//TMPRATES DD *
0982 0543 SUT .

Yes, that does exactly what I need. Thank you. I guess I was trying to make it too complicated.
