Hi Arcvns,

Please conisder the values from position 14-15 only. I think by mistake i put a red mark before that as well.
12345678901234567890123456
FFFFFFFFFFF00010DEFFFFFFFF

ansh_4702,

I dont have access to test this out. May be you can give it a try.

Code: Select all

//SYSIN DD *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC BUILD=(1,13,14,2,PD,EDIT=(TTT))

All of the control statements provided to you in this thread are fully supported and documented SyncSort control statements. If you were not aware of this, then you could have simply substituted SORT FIELDS=COPY instead of OPTION COPY, and FIELDS in place of BUILD, and the job would run just the same.

If you are in need of current manuals, please feel free to contact me offline at alissa.margulies@syncsort.com and I would be happy to further assist you.

ansh_4702,

You're welcome. Good to hear that it did work for you. But the cards provided above are not "DFSORT cards". These control statements ARE supported by SyncSort as pointed out by Alissa.

Hi Alissa,

Thanks so much for the information !

Hi Arcvns,

Forgot to tell you yesterday that I had to do little modification in the card. Below is the modified card:

//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(1,13,14,2,PD,EDIT=(TTT),17,64)
/*

Thanks again for your help !
