I am not in the office at the moment but you can do what you wish if you are using DFSORT with the appropriate PTF's applied. Do a search on Frank Yeager and download his write-ups on some of the new features of sort.
Here is something that should get you started. http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/storage/software/sort/mvs/p dug/pdf/sortpdug.pdf HTH -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rashmi Nijaguni Mogali Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 8:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Help for SORT requirement Hi all, I have the following requirement: Input file: ---+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7--- -+----8 400000000910024892 123 234 400000000100324890 456 567 400000000910024891 789 890 Output file: ---+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7--- -+----8 400000000910024892 123 234 400000000100324890 456 567 400000000910024891 789 890 Whenever there the value in column 1 of input file is 4 I need the data at position 30 shifted to 25 and data at position 50 shifted to 45. The length of this data is fixed i.e. 3 bytes. The length of the input file is 250 bytes. How can I do this using SORT?
