"flowing" records into each other I think DFSORT can do this.. but I don't see it in the manual.. or I am missing it. I want to take an input file lrecl=11 and output lrecl=15 so that the records are joined. The input records record 1: 123 456 789 record 2: abc def ghi record 3: jkl mnop qr would become output records like.. record 1: 123 456 789 abc record 2: def ghi jkl qr Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would like to use DFSORT/ICETOOLs if possible or something like FILEMAN. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
