Input file having record length of 32756(VB) bytes.Each and every record not the same length. some record may have 100 bytes some records may have 30000 bytes.

My requirement is i want to split each and every record into 76 bytes length.

I acheived the above requirement through cobol. is it possible do via JCL?

Thanks in Advance

depends on which utility you invoke with your jcl.

Rexx and Ezytrieve are languages not utilities but I am sure both would do it.

You say split, not truncate.

So do you want all records diced into 76 byte pieces? What about the final piece of each record <76 bytes? Pad it?

Or just the first 76 bytes of each? As VB? Does the 76 include the RDW?

Care to give a little insight as to why you're doing this?
