Hi ,

I need a flat file of 40 character.

I have a VSAM file 1223 characters .I am planning to get 20 characters from Vsam to which I need to add a default constant of 20 characters long and Make it as 40 Characters. How could I be able to add 20 character constant to each 20 length record .This 40 character flat file should be prepared using the JCL. Later this flat file need to be loaded to the DB2 Table.



Could any one please help me.
In deriving the file and utiliy to upload flat file to DB2 Table.


Regards

Karthik.P

Karthik,

This is the simplest exercise. If you looked at SORT or JCL forum you would have found several examples of stripping the data and adding constants to the output file.

I wonder as to why you opened this topic in Application programming. Please post your questions to the right forum.

ex:

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                             
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                               
//SORTIN   DD DSN=YOUR VSAM FILE,
//            DISP=SHR           
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=YOUR OUTPUT FILE,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD *                                           
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                         
  OUTREC FIELDS=(10,20,   $ COPY 20 BYTES FROM POS 15 OF INPUT
                 C'MY 20 BYTE CONSTANT')
/*                                     


Hope this helps...

Cheers
