Hi,
I have a difficult request from a programmer and I'm not sure about the answer.
They have a flat file which has fields that can occur multiple times within
a record, and there are multiple of those fields in the same record. They
want to be able to use DFSORT to overlay (some of) those field

I just say "Use REXX!" and be done with it. Around here, we'd likely use
EasyTrieve Plus for this sort of need. It creates fairly good modules and it
can be either intepreted (actually compile-and-go) or compiled like COBOL and
run like a normal batch program. I will refrain from suggesting a Pe

The "occurrence" fields are 1 byte hex fields, and their offsets change
based on what they are set to as I outlined before.
The original reason we wanted to use DFSORT is the ability to change the
data by passing it through a translate table (ALTSEQ). The reason we are
doing this is to "obfuscate
