HI,

I have a requirement to split one record into multiple records example

i have an input file
lrecl=900
Record layout for clarity have given you in vertical format for input file

1-30 xxx
31-42 required record(key)
42-49 dont bother
50 - 470 (occurs 28 times of length 15)
471-900 dont bother


Desired output,
lrecl = 15
1-15

1-occurence
2-occurence
.....
28-occurence.

any idea ?

I'm not sure if you want

o 15 bytes from somewhere in the first 42 bytes in the first record and each of the 28 occurrences in subsequent separate records, or
o just each of the 28 occurrences in separate records

Assuming it's the latter, you can use DFSORT control statements like this:

What turn around time thanks a lot i was jus searching for building new records, just came to know its '\'

my requirement is exactly what you have assumed.


Thanks frank.
