That NOCC operand in DISPLAY and OCCUR commands resolved perhaps over +- 90% of my reports! No JCL or other messy changes are needed! Many thanks! >For DFSORT reports, you can use the REMOVECC operand. >You can use DFSORT's INREC statement to remove the first character from any >file, e.g. > OPTION COPY > INREC BUILD=(2,n) >where n=LRECL-1 (e.g. 2,132 for LRECL=133). For those reports, for example from RACFRW, that REMOVECC and COPY+BUILD is working like a charm. I just now insert a DFSORT OPTION COPY step between RACFRW step and IEBGENER SMTP step. Voila! All is sorted out. No pesky '1', '0', '+' and '-' in column 1. ;-D The very best thing of this - These reports are shifted to the left automagically despite the output datasets are still RECFM=FBA. So no blanks lines in column 1 are shown, especially in e-mails to my clients. For example (before NOCC) as seen in e-mail attachment in Text Format: 1MainTitle 2012/05/30 12:34 header data Translated to this via NOCC operand and then SMTP to receivers: MainTitle 2012/05/30 12:34 header data If I browse the FBA dataset as it is used by SMTP, I see this using ISPF browse (not Edit! ): ainTitle 2012/05/30 12:34 eader ata To all others who kindly replied: I have NOT forgotten you. Many thanks. I have shared your suggestions to my colleagues. Perhaps they can find a use for it. Frank Yaeger: You may ( MUST! ;-D ) now retire! I wish you a very peacefully retirement. :-D Again thank you to all who replied.
