Hi
I have a input file with the layout mentioned below

01 INPUT-RECORD.
05 INPUT-TEXT PIC X(10).
05 INPUT-AMOUNT PIC -9(13).9(2).

I need to design an application which would sum INPUT-AMOUNT of all the records and writes total to an output file. If INPUT-AMOUNT is zoned decimal, packed decimal or binary field I believe SYNCSORT can be used. Other option is Cobol or Easytrieve. Can this be achieved with SYNCSORT or FILE-AID or any other tool? Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Vijayakrishna

Vijayakrishna,

Please search before posting. There are many examples which discuss the summation of a number with an imbedded decimal point
