Nadh,

If the file is relatively small , then you can use TSO edit COMMANDS to remove the first 8 bytes.

on the first line type this
Code:

((8


on the last line type

Code:

((


or you can run a simple JCL using sort/fileaid to copy the contents from pos 9

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT     
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*       
//SORTIN   DD DSN=YOUR INPUT 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=(9,N-8)   $ HERE n IS THE TOTAL LRECL OF THE FILE
//*


Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=FILEAID
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                       
//SYSLIST  DD  SYSOUT=*
//DD01     DD DSN=YOUR INPUT FILE,
//            DISP=SHR
//DD01O    DD DSN=YOUR OUTPUT FILE,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD  *                             
$$DD01 COPY MOVE=(1,0,8)
//*


Hope this helps...

Cheers

kolusu

Kolusu,

I tried the following SORT JCL but ended up in error.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT     
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*       
//SORTIN   DD DSN=YOUR INPUT 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=(9,N-8)   $ HERE n IS THE TOTAL LRECL OF THE FILE
//*


The SYSOUT shown the following:

Code:

SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS  1.2.0.0R
SYSIN :                                       
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                           
  OUTREC FIELDS=(9,22-8)                     
                     *                       
WER268A  OUTREC STATEMENT  : SYNTAX ERROR     
WER449I  SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE


Any help?

Kolusu, I am sorry. I misunderstood the N-8.

I corrected it as shown below and it went fine.

Code:

//SYSIN    DD *       
  SORT FIELDS=COPY     
  OUTREC FIELDS=(9,14)
//*                   


This is nice way of copying selective stuff.

Thanks a lot.

Corrected SYSIN card for File-Aid JCL is -->

Code:

//SYSIN    DD  *                             
$$DD01 COPY MOVE=(1,0,9)
//*


Now it matches with the SORT solution............ Wink

Thanks.
