Yes Anuj,

a generic question just deserves a technically correct but generic answer

since zOS I/O is record oriented every read will return a full record
then You are free to process as many bytes as You need

Hi,

I have a dataset of length 132. For a requirement, I want to read the contents only upto 80th column from it. Is there anyway to do it using ISPF edit macros/REXX?
