Kolusu. Apologies for the wrong data put, "-" is there in the input on col "6".
Here is the requirements FROM DEPT - TODEPT 100 - 200 i.e all data "FROM DEPT" and "TODEPT" to be made 5 bytes by padding zeros irrespective of what users entered. if the user entered 5 byte dept then make no changes for all other cases pad with zeros to make it as 5 bytes. 1 byte data inputted to be padded with 4 leading zeros and same as in all the other cases. If there is some word like CHAIN in one of the records then leave that record . no need to make any changes. INPUT 1 – 43 343-999 CHAIN 4062 - 4108 4110 - 4700 4705 - 4706 4708 4714 4719 4723 OUTPUT 00001 – 00043 00343 - 00999 CHAIN 04062 - 04108 04110 - 04700 04705 - 04706 04708 04714 04719 04723 Thanks Ron T ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
