Sounds like an Occurs Depending On user field within a variable length record.

Non-standard? Well, it served somebody somewhere to cook up this file and 
that's what i have to work with. 
 
As for FileManager, that's a possible but then so is EZT at this point, as the 
file apparently has EZT copybooks already set up that are forthcoming.

What about using a much under-rated tool, File Manager ...?

That is a non-standard format.

How was it created?

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

ICETOOL to parse "spanned" logical recs in physical recs

2017-11-10 Thread Mike O'Connell 
Hello,

I want to parse a file with physical records that contain one or more logical 
records. Each logical record starts with a 2 byte binary length field. The goal 
is to produce a file that contains "logical = physical" records. I'm not seeing 
how ICETOOL could do this (although i've yet to get permission to FTP download  
the DFSORT/ICETOOL tips and tricks PDF).  Any advice? Hope this was clear.
