Hi,

I need to select only a few columns and copy them to a different file.
e.g in a File (FB, Rec Length 358), I need to copy following fields only to a different file:

Column 280 ln X(1)
Column 289 ln X(3)
Column 315 ln X(4)

Which utility should I use to achive this ?

You can use the following DFSORT job to do what you asked for:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  OUTREC FIELDS=(280,1,289,3,315,4)
/*


If you're not familiar with the DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest going through "DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use the features of DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online at:
