Hi, I have a requirement which states like this:
Given records like 1~ABC~99.99~12345 123~AB~9.99~567 34~c~1.99~345 where there are 4 fields in each record, each separated by a '~'. The third field is the price field, which i need to sum up. I wont know the starting position / length of the fields. Is there any way that i can sum up the price, using Sort or DYL, without having to write a COBOL program using UNSTRING?
