Do you want an ISPF EDIT solution? Use the SHIFT COLS block command.


))1101 Shift the lines in this block 11 places
000002 from column 1
))0003 to column 12

Hello,

If this is a requirement you will need to do repeatedly and the requirement calls for cobol, a very simple cobol program would read the current iniput and write to a file that has 11 bytes of filler before the data.

You could also do this with your sort product.
Hope this helps,
