How to delete all blank records in a file?

If input is (rec. length = 80)

Code:
aaaaaaaaf fgagdgfdgd
fsfsfs
fsfsfsfsfs

fsfasfsfsa

fsfsfsf


then output should be:
Code:
aaaaaaaaf fgagdgfdgd
fsfsfs

Naveen,

You can use OMIT condition to get rid of the unwanted records.If the input you have shown are indeed blank lines(all spaces), then the following jcl will give you the results.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC  PGM=SORT                                     
//*
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                         
//SORTIN   DD *
aaaaaaaaf fgagdgfdgd
fsfsfs
fsfsfsfsfs

fsfasfsfsa

fsfsfsf                                               
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=YOUR OUTPUT FILE,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN     DD *         
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  OMIT COND=(1,80,CH,EQ,C' ')
/*



Hope this helps...

cheers
