The silence here probably means the audience is not familiar with COBOL program where the field is 9(7).9(7). Anyhow, I don't underdstand. I can say however that in your specs you have two things that are not required, hence pure overhead: PAD BLANK is default and when padding is with blanks, there is no need to code things like / / 105 (unless the data you placed previously could have placed something else in column 105 106). 2007/11/15, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: i am using pipelines to reformat a DB data dump file that has vertical bars as field separators. one of the fields is a dollar amount which can take any of these formats: 0 1 12 123.4 1234.56 i want to reformat this as input for a COBOL program where the field is 9(7).9(7) can i do this in the specs stage ? or do i have to pass the records thru and format this particular field and then use my specs stage to put all the fields into the right columns? here is the current coding i have: 'PIPE', ' CABSEAST DATA B',/* read the oracle dump file */ '| drop 1', /* skip the first line - header data */ '| SPECS pad blank fs 4F ', /* fields separated by '|' character */ 'field 1 1 left', /* field 1 will go into col 1 */ 'field 2 9 left', /* field 2 will go into col 9 */ ... etc. 'field 17 104 left',/* field 17 will go into col 103 */ '/ / 105', /* put two blanks in 105-106 */ 'pad 0 field 18 107-120 right', /* field 18 is numeric - right align */ '/ / 121', /* insert a blank*/ 'pad blank field 19 122 left', /* field 19 will go into col 122 */ 'field 20 124 left',/* field 20 will go into col 124 */ ... etc. field 18 is the one that needs to be reformatted. prg Phillip Gramly Systems Programmer Communications Data Group Champaign, IL -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support

It certainly explains my lack of response ;-) I suppose the poster should look at the picture in specs for it, but without knowing what that format does, I may be sending him there without a reason.

I would certainly consider a topology of the pipeline that requires less typing (and re-typing when something changes). For starters, split the records on the | and match them against a table to arrange justifying and/or padding. If nothing else, one could even generate the pipeline out of such a table. Rob

Phil, the best source of current PUIPE documentation is the so-called Author's Edition of the documentation.
