Hi All,

Can you please help me in below problem I am facing -->

I have one FB file with REC LENGTH 25, you can see below records in file, I am not able to understand why my sequence no is taking last 6 digits from my records value.
When I do NUM OFF or when I increase size of file, it seems ok but how can I fix it permanently with the same REC LENGTH as I can not change my Program with different file length at this stage.

Because of this Issue it is creating problem in JCL while copying to another file. It also does not allow me to reduce size of any record.

Select all

Not sure what you mean at all. Try unnum.

===> ren;unnum
then rekey the values that were in the last 6 columns since the unnum will replace those characters by spaces.
You should have posted this in the TSO and ISPF area.

Use the editor PROFILE command. Make sure your profile does not automatically add the numbers the next time you edit the file.

Give the command UNNUM followed by NUM OFF followed by "PROF LOCK". If the LLQ of the dataset doesn't change, this will ensure you won't get any more sequence numbers.
