S9(9) COMP-3 is a 5-byte PD value. So you could use BUILD or OVERLAY with:

+0,TO=PD,LENGTH=5

If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:

Frank,

Thanks a lot.

I am getting a small error. Kindly find the below details & suggest me.
My requirement is, I need to copy the records from one VSAM to another VSAM file.
I have a input VSAM file with 220 record length and Output VSAM file record length of 320.

Now from input VSAM file i need data from 1,209 and from 210 t0 214 (S 9(9) COMP-3 variable) i need to insert ZERO and rest of the data should be spaces or zeros.

Kindly can you send me the syntax.

Rgds,
Puttu
