Hi all! I have a DFSORT that is generating a test file for me, and I
currently pass in a starting numeric value and increment value to
generate my first 9-byte field. This has been working fine and has been
useful for lots of things.
Now, though I want to take that first field, and make it a 9-s
complement instead of the SEQNUM value. Can anyone tell me if there is a
way to translate from 0123456789 to 9876543210, or to subtract the
SEQNUM from 999999999? DFSORT does not allow incrementing by negative
value for SEQNUM.
Here is the relevant part of the SYSIN:
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL REPEAT=CNT,
BUILD=(001:SEQNUM,9,ZD,START=K1,INCR=I1,
. . .
So if I start with K1 = 100000001, and with I1 = 4, my first few records
start:
100000001...
100000005...
100000009...
and I want them to be
899999998...
899999994...
899999991...
Thank you and best regards,
Billy Ashton
