>> BTW, what's the syntax for comments in DFSORT command files? Gil,
It is documented here https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=rules-inserting-comment-statements >> The solution above, lacking comments and with 8 numeric positional >> parameters is horribly opaque to the novice. If there is NO reformatting(Binary/packed fields to Display fields, printing Hex numbers.... ), You just need POSITION of the data and LENGTH of the data to be written out. //SYSIN DD * OPTION COPY * This is a sample comment with asterisks in position 1 INREC BUILD=(05,08, # copy from pos 05 for a length of 08 15,05, # copy from pos 15 for a length of 05 22,21, # copy from pos 22 for a length of 21 45,05) # copy from pos 45 for a length of 05 /* Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
