How to overlay a constant value in PD format

Postby Shambu » Mon Jun 28, 2021 11:56 pm

Could someone please tell me how to overlay a constant value, say '010' in PD format to a sortout file.
I tried but its not working.

 

Code: Select all

OUTREC OVERLAY=(1:1,3,C'010',TO=PD,LENGTH=2)

There is no such thing as “constant” when it is a field in a record of a dataset.

Use

Code: Select all

. . . OVERLAY=(1:1,3,
              +10,TO=PD,LENGTH=2)
Javas and Pythons come and go, but JCL and SORT stay forever.
