I want to include records which is present in 9th position(length is of 2 bytes) and then insert 3 bytes in the ouput file starting from the 1st position and then followed by the data that is present in the input file

For Example:If the data in the 9th position is 'XX' then insert '001' in the 1st position of the output file followed by the remaining datas of the input file OR if the data in the 9th position is 'YY' then insert '002' in the 1st position of the output file followed by the remaining datas of the input file OR if the data in the 9th position is 'ZZ' then insert '002' in the 1st position of the output file followed by the remaining datas of the input file.

Can this be achieved using INCLUDE and OUTREC, If so can someone give the syntax?

JCL does not have INCLUDE or OUTREC statements. You should have posted in the Utilities section where questions relating to a sort utlity should reside. Now that it IS here, though, do NOT repost. People will find it whislt looking at JCL problems.

sankar narayanan,

try the following control cards. I assumed that your input is FB recfm and is of 80 bytes in length

Woops! Just remembered - JCL DOES have an INCLUDE statement! I've been writing JCL for 35 years and I forgot about that - but I never use INCLUDE for real partly because the Powers That Be don't like 'new-fangled' things and partly because I like to see everything in one place.
