Hi

I would like to send a document to PC from the mainframe. I am using a job whcih executes FTP program. But I want to send the data in a tabdelimited form to the PC. Is there any way I can specify in the FTP step/or in the COBOl program to get a tabdelimited output.


Thanks in Advance

Thanks
Eswar

Eswar,
You can use INREC/OUTREC feature of SORT utility.A value of x'05'(HT) translates to x'09' (HT) on the PC. The following DFSORT jcl will give you the
results.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN                           
//*                                                     
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                 
//SORTIN   DD DSN=YOUR INPUT FILE,
//            DISP=SHR     
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=YOUR OUTPUT TAB DELIMITED FILE,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN   DD * 
  SORT FIELDS=COPY 
  OUTREC FIELDS=(01,20,      $ FIELD1
                X'05',       $ TAB CHARACTER   
                22,20,       $ FIELD2 
                X'05',       $ TAB CHARACTER
                ....
                POS,LENGTH)  $ LAST FIELD
/*


Hope this helps...

cheers

Hi Kolusu,

Thank you very much you reply. You are very intelligent and very smart. very few people in the world are intelligent but very few are really willing to share their knoweldge to others. I think you are one among them. may god bless you in all your future endevors.

Once againg thanks for your help. Infact this will reduce manual intervention in our system, so that mainframe would take care automatically

Thanks
Eswar
