what is:

input record length
output record length
key position/len

assuming you want:

key is relative location 0, length 4
first instance of a key, the data (relative location 4, len of record-len - 4) is overlayed on each consecutive record until key changes

are the records already sorted by the key?

Frank or someone else will come along and provide the answer, but reading thru previous post in this forum indicates that this kind of info is necessary to provide a solution.

Martin,

You haven't given enough information for anyone to help you. You need to explain in detail what you're trying to do. What are the "rules" for getting from input to output? What is the RECFM and LRECL of the input file? Show an example of the input and output records that illustrates the variations you can have.

Frank Yaeger,

Here's the exact requirements.

LRECL :- 1800
RECFM=FB
Rules: -

- There are 2 records for every employee and we need sum up all his sal and other details which come in at regular intervals ( Sal @ Pos 22 , contr @ 72 (Sal Pos + 50 .. So on till 1672).

Martin,

You need to learn to spell out your requirement properly. 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.

The latest requirement does NOT match the output you described in the first post.

post a sample input and desired output along with the dcb properties.
