I want to develop a common module with PLI which can read different input files with different record length then output the record without the first row to different output files with different record length.

E.g.

Input: File A or File B or File C

File A
-------
DABC
DHIG

File B
--------
DABCD
DHIGK

File C
-------------
DABCDEFG
DHIGKLMN

Output:
File A
-----
ABC
HIG

File B
-------
ABCD
HIGK

File C
-----------
ABCDEFG
HIGKLMN

Could anyone help on it? Much appreciated.

Dragon_Lee,

in your sample the first digit is removed not the first record ?!

Dragon_Lee,

You can specify your different record lengths on the file declaration and you can use SUBSTR function to eliminate the first character.
