I have one doubt in Tab separated Sequential file
Consider a flat file which has Tabs separated records ..i want to read this file and remove all those Tabs and write into another flat file..
I used Unstring Method like

UNSTRING INPUT-REC DELIMITED BY X'09' INTO
FIELD-1
FIELD-2
FIELD-3
END-UNSTRING
But it works only for first field and other remains blank

e_thani,

The tab character value on the mainframe is x'05'. It translates to x'09' on the PC.So if you are running the unstring command on the mainframe you should be delimiting the field by X'05'.

Code:

UNSTRING INPUT-REC DELIMITED BY X'09' INTO
         FIELD-1, FIELD-2, FIELD-3
END-UNSTRING


Hope this helps...

Cheers
