TF will get you there, however I doubt it would remove all the spaces. Try it out. Thanks

I don't know how is your exact data but in this case you could do "c ' ' '' 8 80" all

Shekar123,

Are you trying to do this merge operation manually or do u have any rexx code to do this ? If you already using any REXX then you can probably code a simple logic to do this operation.

Thanks,

I use a macro called SPLTJOIN, which will either split a line at the cursor position, or join two lines by inserting the content of the second line at the cursor position in the first line. It's easiest to use if you set a PF key to SPLTJOIN.

It will accomplish your requirement. Have a play with it and see if it's good enough.

Mervyn,

I am not using any Rexx at all ,i just want to try any line command to accompolish my task to get the desired result.Is there any line command to remove spaces between the words in a single shot.

=COLS> ----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7-- 000009        RAJAKUMARREDDY                                                  ****** **************************** Bottom of Data ****************************

Shekar123,

Is this a one time activity ? I think the best way is to write a small rexx routine or customize the one given by Mervyn. Believe me, it does not take much time but not worth if this is not going to be a repeated activity.

Thanks,
Phantom
