Hi,
I have a requirement where i have two input files of different LRECL.

The output file must have the content of input files as follows
1: 43 content of file1 for first 43 bytes
44:10 content of file2 for the next 10 bytes
54: 6 content file1 for next 6 bytes
60: 9 content of file2 for the next 9 bytes
The content of file1 there after

Please suggest a sort card suggestible for this requirement

Thanks in advance,
veera

Veera333,

Is there a key to match the 2 files or is it like creating an output record from picking the contents from 1st record of file 1 with the 1st record of file 2 and 2nd record of file 1 with 2nd record of file 2 and so on...?

Please provide the following details.

1. what is the LRECL and RECFM Of both input and output files.
2. Show us a sample of inputs and desired outputs.

Hi,

There is no matching key. Both the files are sequential and LREC = 1300 for file 1 and LRECL= 500 for file2.

Small correction in my question, i should not create a new output file.I should replace first record content of file1 to first record of file2 in certain positions and second record content of file1 to second record of file2 and so on.

The file1 field from postions 44 to 53 must be replaced with first 10 bytes of file2
The file1 field from postions 60 to 68 must be replaced with field that is loacted at postion 12 to 20 from file2



Example:

Position: 1----------10-----------43---------------------60-------------1300
File1: ABC XYZ 123.....................................................................

File2: 1234567891--456789123----------------------------

Result:

File1: ABC XYZ 123................1234567891.........456789123-----1300
