Hi,

I've 12 input files (and in future it might be more). Let's file be fileA, fileB, fileC and so on and 12 output files as - fileA1, fileB1, fileC1 and so on. I want to copy the input files to output files such as fileA goes to fileA1, fileB geso to fileB1 ...

I know it can be done by IDCAMS ...

I'd need justifcation too. I'll try with INSPECT and reference modification.

I've a field which migh tcome like this "$$$$$1234" or "$$$$$$234" or "$$$$$$$34" or "$$$$$$$$4" or "$$$$$$$$$", where $ represents a space and it might alos be like "1234$$$$$" etc. I need to replace $ with a zero.

Hi,

I want to find length of a field. Once I know that I'll pad zeroes. But I am not sure if I should this using INSPECT or with intrinsic FUNCTION LENGTH. What is the difference between the two approaches, I'm confused?

I'm from India.

Hi,

I find this forum on google.
