Hi everyone! I am trying to generate a large test file for an internal project, and I wanted to know if anyone has done this with SORT.
I need to have the first 9 bytes be incremental from 100000001 by 8 (...001, ...009, ...017, etc.), followed by a 12byte current timestamp (hhmmss,millll without the dot) and then I need a couple random 7-byte packed fields and a static text field with every record having the same value. Is this possible with SORT? If so, is it good to use this to generate about 1Mill records? I will run this multiple times during testing (hence the 1 in the first byte, which will be 2 next time). Thanks for your suggestions and recommendations!
