Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Hello List,
Is there a way to remove the first column of data from a fixed record without specifying the length of the data to be retained? Several dozen files are generated several times a day, all have RECFM=FB and various LRECLs. Every record in each of these files is prefixed by a superfluous blank. It would be a simple matter to remove the blank if the records were variable: BUILD=(1,4,6) would do it, I believe. Is there a single-step process to accomplish this task when the records are fixed? It makes no difference to the application if the output LRECL is equal to the input LRECL (i.e. padded) or LRECL-1 (i.e. truncated). Thanks, Alan Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
