Hi,

I would like to search for a string from one file and copy the next strings into another file. The string would be available anywhere in line between column 01 and 80.

Sample Input file -



Expected Output file -



I found a way to search and copy the record using the INCLUDE statement.


However, the requirement is just to copy the next strings until space, but NOT the complete record into output file as shown below.

Code'd

Have got the records you want, you use PARSE with STARTAFT for your search-string and ENDBEFR for blank, with FIXLEN for the maximum possible length, then BUILD using your PARSEd field.

Not a JCL question but a sort question. Moving topic. Next time you start a topic, please make sure that it is in the correct part of the forum.

Thanks
