Hi

I am having a fb file of length of 80 bytes. I need to takeout 4 lines in that and write it into fb output file of length 80.

I/P:
Code:
105789 raveen axis corp
   12 rajiven coordinates corp
............... *****.....................
$$$$ next set $$$$$$

0000arivind 10th grade asbiss
    ragu ms mit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

********** list **********
** students - 2
   employees - 2
   total employees working - 2
************************
$$$$$$$$ address details $$$$$
.
.
.
.
.
 



The input file will be going on like that.

I want to have output as follows
Code:
****************************
students:
---------
********** list **********
students - 2
employees:
----------
********** list **********
employees - 2

total employees working - 2

****************************


Thanks in advance!
One.

You need to explain your "rules". . .

You have output that is not in the input - why?

Hi

I want to take out the following four lines from the input file and reformat as like below mentioned output. Moreover the part (Input) mentioned below can be anywhere in input file and appear once. There is no proper layout for the input file. The input file is almost like a report file.

Input:
Code:
********** list **********
** students - 2
   employees - 2
   total employees working - 2


Output:
Code:
****************************
students:
---------
********** list **********
students - 2
employees:
----------
********** list **********
employees - 2

total employees working - 2

****************************


Thanks!
One.

oneofspace,

Use the following DFSORT JCL which will give you the desired results


Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*     
//SORTIN   DD DSN=Your input FB 80 byte file,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//SYSIN    DD *                                         
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                       
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,PUSH=(81:SEQ=8,1,80),         
  BEGIN=(1,80,SS,EQ,C'********** LIST **********'))     

  OUTFIL IFOUTLEN=80,                                   
  INCLUDE=(81,8,ZD,GT,0,AND,81,8,ZD,LE,4),               
  IFTHEN=(WHEN=(81,8,ZD,EQ,1),                           
  BUILD=(80C'*',/,C'STUDENTS:',/,C'---------',/,1,80)), 
  IFTHEN=(WHEN=(81,8,ZD,EQ,3),                           
  BUILD=(C'EMPLOYEES:',/,C'----------',/,89,80,/,1,80)),
  IFTHEN=(WHEN=(81,8,ZD,EQ,4),                           
  BUILD=(80C' ',/,1,80,/,80C' ',/,80C'*'))
