Hi all,

I need to insert 0000 as numeric into the first four characters of every record in a vsam file . Iam currently using the following outrec condition...
Code:

OUTREC FIELDS=(1:C'0000',5:7,1,6:26,8,14:8,8) .


But this inserts the first four zeroes as character and as the vsam key is packed numeric, this is giving an error.

Any way to insert it as numeric??

I tried the following ...but they didnt seem to work Sad Sad
Code:

OUTREC FIELDS=(1:P'0000',5:7,1,6:26,8,14:8,8)
=================================
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:ZD'0000',5:7,1,6:26,8,14:8,8)
=================================
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:PD'0000',5:7,1,6:26,8,14:8,8)
=================================


Any way out??

Regards
Deepesh

Deepesh,

Here's another way to do it if you have DFSORT R14 PTF UQ90053 (Feb, 2003).

Code:

    OUTREC FIELDS=(1:+0,TO=PD,LENGTH=4,
         5:7,1,6:26,8,14:8,8)


For complete information on using DFSORT's decimal constants, see:
