I need to convert the files from one format to another.

I am facing problem, while converting the numeric fields to characters and viceversa.

From 9(16) to X(16),
X(20) to S9(11) COMP-3,
X(10) to 9(09),
X(10) to 9(05) COMP.

I am using the INREC.

Please suggest the ways to solve it using sort.

Thanks in advance,

Naveen

Do you have FileAid at your shop?

Kolusu,

I am getting error while converting 9(16) to X(16),

The Error message is:
WER271A INREC STATEMENT : NUMERIC FIELD ERROR

and the '*' is pointing below ,16, (the length of the field)

Naveen,

The length limit is 15 for reformatting / editing.
I have a similar requirement
(to reformat a 32 byte number) to a PD field of length 10 (truncation is okay). Any pointers on how this can be achieved.

Thanks.
