Hello: I'm trying to figure out what the OUTREC statement below does, in particular what the length of the output record will be.
As you can see, the FIELDS consist of five "position,length" pairs which add up to 67 bytes (4+1+20+22+20=67), then there's "68", all by itself. What does "68" mean? I looked in half-a-dozen DFSORT, SYNCSORT or CA-SORT manuals that I have but find no clue as to how a single "position" operand (w/o length) would be interpreted. Any idea? Thanks. SORT FIELDS=COPY,STOPAFT=1 OUTREC FIELDS=(1,4,67,1,5,20,45,22,25,20,68) RECORD TYPE=V,LENGTH=(4096,,,,205) -- Gilbert Saint-Flour http://gsf-soft.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
