What is a "field"? If you meant bytes, say bytes. Otherwise you need to define the starting byte and length of what you want to copy because mainframes work with records and not fields.

DO NOT POST THE SAME QUESTION ON DIFFERENT FORUMS AT THE SAME TIME

the people answering there are the same answering here

decide where you want to carry on the discussion

the other topic will be deleted by a moderator
