Hello Guys,

I want to write an easytrieve which checks for the Header and Trailor record of the input file (Files can be of any record length, only one easytrieve should be used for different files with different record length) and if header and trailor is not there then it adds the header and trailor by initializing all the fields of input files as zero if numeric and space if alphanumeric.

Can someone provide some help on this? Thanks

Please do not open more than 1 topic for the same question. I deleted your other duplicate posts.

Please answer the following questions.

1. How do you identify a header or trailer?
2. Does the header/trailer have a layout as you asked for initializing the fields based on their definition.
3. What is the max lrecl file you can have? Do you have any VB file?

I am sorry for duplicate posts

For Header trailor i find the solution. I want to use this easytrieve for any file layout. What i want is to enter the layout and want easytrive to read that layout, and initialize the layout fields to zero if thay are numeric and spaces if the fields are alphanumeric. Here i don't want to manually move 0 or space to individual fields. Thanks

Its very simple. I have an account field which is always zero for header fields. When i read the file i check that field by if condition. If that field don't met condition, header missing. My main problem starts after that.

rajiv_garg08,

I wanted to see how you are using multiple layouts and checking the header and initializing the fields without using a move statement.
