Not sure what you mean by "in place"? We use SORT for that purpose, which requires a file with REUSE attribute and a work file. When SORTs are used to update a file "in place" without using a work file, we call them "suicide sorts".
One could also use IDCAMS for the record creation. pup Gerry Anstey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote 08/23/2005 10:41 AM I'm talking about batch of course!
