Again, it depends on what tools you have available.....Again, a sort copy with inrec or outrec processing could do what you need.....

chinna,

If you want a specific answer, you need to be more specific about what you need to do. What exactly do you mean by null values - binary zeros, blanks, packed decimal zeros, or what? What is the starting position, length and format of the field you want to put nulls in?

As an example, if you wanted to put binary zeros in positions 11-15, you could do it with these DFSORT control statements:

   OPTION COPY
   INREC OVERLAY=(11:5Z)
