Hi,

I have a requirement which states like this:

Given records like

1~ABC~99.99~12345
123~AB~9.99~567
34~c~1.99~345

where there are 4 fields in each record, each separated by a '~'. The third
field is the price field, which i need to sum up. I wont know the starting
position / length of the fields. Is there any way that i can sum up the
price, using Sort or DYL, without having to write a COBOL program using
UNSTRING?

Thanks in advance,
Ramya
