You can't change the "fill" character, but you can fill the record with any character you like. For exmaple, if you want to fill 81-576 with C'#' characters, you can use this DFSORT OUTREC statement: OUTREC BUILD=(1,80,496C'#') or this one: OUTREC OVERLAY=(81:496C'#') Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM) - yae...@us.ibm.com Specialties: JOINKEYS, FINDREP, WHEN=GROUP, ICETOOL, Symbols, Migration => DFSORT/MVS is on the Web at http://www.ibm.com/storage/dfsort/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
