Hi,

Kolusu,

I am not moving thru a program.
I am editing the file manually and I want to put high values in one particular field.

vkphani,

Please post detailed information on what you're trying to accomplish. Do not make people guess what you mean. This will give you a much better chance of getting a good answer to your question.

In your first post , you mentioned of moving high-values to alphabetic field and now you say you are editing the file to put high-values. So be clear on your requirements as it will save time and effort for you as well as other people who are trying to help you.

For the EBCDIC collating sequence, the character X'FF' is high-values. So open your dataset in edit mode and type hex on and put X'ff' for 9 bytes. If you are not sure how to read hex values then check this topic

Hope this helps...

Cheers

High-Values are a hex 'FF'.
