As a concept, I would copy the first record to a new dataset (using
sort) and expand the record by one character - a blank. In a second
OUTFIL statement I would expand all of the other records by the same
1 character - a blank.
Then I would JOIN the two expanded datasets using the added blank as
the key. I would tell the JOIN that the records are already
sorted. Then in the JOIN's REFORMAT statement you can add the field
from the one record file to where ever you want in all of the records.
You can decide if the first record record should be in both expanded
files or not (I would think so).
