But I think that you'd be better off trying to use PARSE. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.iceg200/rrwvf.htm OUTREC PARSE=(%01=(STARTAFT=C'DATACLAS=',ENDBEFR=C',')), BUILD=(%01) I didn't include all the other SORT control cards. -- A sine curve goes off to infinity, or at least the end of the blackboard. -- Prof. Steiner Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
