File 2 10012345 SECOND 10312345 SECOND 10512345 SECOND 10612345 SECOND File 3 10012345 THIRD 10112345 THIRD and I want to merge them together to create a single file, keyed on the first 8 bytes, as follows: 10012345FIRSTSECONDTHIRD 10112345FIRSTSECONDTHIRD 10212345FIRST 10312345FIRSTSECOND 10512345 SECOND 10612345 SECOND can I do this with DFSORT/ icetool? If so, what control parameters do I need? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
