Hi.

we have got a file of length 80, the 1'st 10 bytes is character and from 11 byte there is a comp field which is s9(09) comp and rest of the field is charcter
I need to change the comp field to a numeric data. The length of the o/p file need not be kept 80. Please let us know how to handle.

Thanks,
Raj

yes there are filler spaces at the end & the file can be a new one with a new record length

rajeev5174,

Use the following DFSORT JCL which will give you the desired results. This job will expand the 4 byte binary field to 9 bytes and write out the output. I assumed that you only have positive numbers in the binary field.
