Hi,

Is is possible to append the recods in a dataset(FB) into a single record using DFSORT? If yes, what can be the maximum byte the output dataset(VB or FB) can hold in that single record?

The control card that I used is
Code:
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL OUTREC=(1,40),
HEADER1=(1:'<A>  ****THIS IS THE START **** </A>'),
TRAILER1=(1:'<C>  **** END **** </C>'),REMOVECC
END

Input:
Code:
<A>  ****This is the start **** </A>
<DATA>001ABC</DATA>
<DATA>002DEF</DATA>
<DATA>003GHI</DATA>
<C>  **** END **** </C>

Output:
Code:
<A>  ****This is the start **** </A><DATA>001ABC(/DATA><DATA>002DEF(/DATA><DATA>003GHI(/DATA><C>  **** END **** </C>


NOTE:
The header, trailer and data have different lengths. But all the data will be having the same length.

Please help!

Thanks,
Arun

arunkantony,

yes it possible , but what happens if you have more records that cannot fit as a single record?

Check this link which explains in detail about the LRECL parameter.

Hope this helps...
