Hi,

I have a requirement where i need to copy Fixed Block QSAM file to another with following condition.

1) Say the input file is of 262 bytes with 250 bytes of data
2) The output file will be 262 bytes with first 10 bytes the same. Next 4 bytes will be spaces and then followed by 11th to 250th byte of the input file. So the output file will have 254 bytes with additional 4 spaces from 11th to 14th column.

Can you advise me on how to do this ?

Regards,
Akshay

Thanks for your help. It worked.

What do i need to change in case i need to populate with some 4 character say 'ABCD' instead of 4 spaces in all the rows in the file.

Akshay
