Thanks for the quick response and advise.

Yes, we need Short records into the output.

We should not modify the input file at any cost. i.e padding binary zeros or space or etc. Because if we do so, then output file will be modified.

I thought VLSCMP will not modify the input record.

please advise.

Thanks

Hi Kolusu,

Is it condition NE or LE.

The actually scenario is The 'Z' record always have record length more than 380. Which mean when DFSORT validate 'Z' records, ideally it will not be a short record.

But rest of the records like R,V,etc may have Short records.

Hi Kolusu,

Yes, I need all short records into the output.

I need to make sure if these 5 fields are not having spaces.

If five fields are having spaces, i need to exclude those records.

If any of these fields are not spaces.. i.e binary zero or a value or etc i need those output into the field.

in other way, I am authorized to ignore only 'Z' records having spaces in all those 5 fields.

Regards,
Magesh
