I have searched in this forum but couldn't find it. Sad

How do we create a dataset from another dataset, which will have just one byte extra? For an example, I have a file with Record Length 105. I want to create a file with same information, but record length of 106. The last byte(106th byte) would be space.
I can use SYNCSORT in my system.

Thanks in advance,
Subho

In addition to this issue, how can we have a different length output file where additional field is in between? For an example record length of input file is 90. Output file will have record length of 91 with exact same data. But the column number 55 for all output records will have space.

Input file:
AAABBBCCC
AAACCCBBB

Output file:
AAAB BBCCC
AAAC CCBBB

Thanks,
Subho
