John, Yes, the sort can do what you are looking for. For illustrative purposes, I will assume that the lf is in position 80. The following control cards will change an X to an AB. If the value is not X, it will be left alone. If this doesn't help, I'm sure we can work it out:
SORT FIELDS=COPY OUTREC FIELDS=(1,79,80,1,CHANGE=(2,C'X',C'AB'),NOMATCH=(80,1)) Good luck, John Reda Syncsort, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Wallin Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 11:59 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Can sort change a lf to crlf?
