Hi,
I wonder if anyone knows if I can achieve the following in SORT. I've
already done it in REXX but I think SORT may be more efficient since my
input file has 92 records resulting in more than 30,000 records.
Each record is fixed (lrecl=8906) and is built as follows:
1-2 2-byte binary length
3-4 2-byte filler contains '00'x
5-11 Userid
12 Space
13-? Username
This is then repeated across the record until we encounter a length of
zero.
So a record containing 3 names (in reality they contain hundreds) would
look like this:
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7----+
USR0001 FRED.SMITHY USR0002 JEFFREY.SNOTRAG USR0003 JOE.SCHMO
0100EEDFFFF4CDCC4EDCECE0100EEDFFFF4DCCCDCE4EDDEDCC0100EEDFFFF4DDC4ECCDD0000

I want to split the above into 3 records (presumably using RECM=VB):
----+----1----+----
USR0001 FRED.SMITHY
EEDFFFF4CDCC4EDCECE
429000106954B249388
----+----1----+----2---
USR0002 JEFFREY.SNOTRAG
EEDFFFF4DCCCDCE4EDDEDCC
429000201566958B2563917
----+----1----+--
