Subbuy2k,

The max length of the data you can move using MOVE statement in file-aid is 256. Why not use 0 (zero) to tell File-AID to calculate the length, from the specified from-location in the input record, to the end of the input record, and to use the result as the length of the data to move.

Hi Kolusu,
i have also coded by splitting it into many 256 datas. Actually i have to move around 1150 bytes. since i am not able to move at a stretch i split into many 256.

1.Is there any way to move all the 1150 bytes at a time
2.is there any limit that we can move only 256 bytes at a time.

can you please tell me.

thanks
