Isn't this assuming that the first 4 columns are character and you are
embedding the quotes ? Also did you delete off the first 2 records (the headers
and column attributes) ?

Hi,
Was busy and couldn't look at this right away. There are a few monkey wrenches
in processing the data. You have some columns which had spaces in between the
data and the column attributes having comma's added complications to parsing
the data as a comma separator.
Either way here is a job t

Don,
ISPF file tailoring can easily handle this.
I have a generic panel driven program and every time I have a list to
manipulate, I just build a new skeleton and run it against the list.
In your case, this would be your VB input file.
The prototype skeleton I used looks like this:

DFSORT Application Programming Guide, P.68, "DFSORT uses only the space on the
first volume specified for a multivolume data set. Space on the second and
subsequent volumes is not used. Multivolume SORTWKdd data sets are, therefore,
treated as single-volume SORTWKdd data sets."

Kolusu, here are the first 3 column definitions:

CHAR(30) NOT NULL,
CHAR(8) N.N.,
As you can see, each of the columns is separated by a comma, which is outside
of the parens. The N.N. is an abbreviation for Not Null, and the abbreviation
is used when the column width is less than
