Hi,

I have a requirement and i wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions on how to go about it.

I have to search for a hex value (X'5F') in position (2,19). (there can be multiple occurences of this value, we've to process them all)
If this is found, I have to look at the next column hexadecimal value (it will be number, for ex x'10'). This number tells us how many SPACES are to be introduced.
So,
I have to replace
>(X'5F10') by 10 SPACES.
>(X'5F04') by 4 SPACES.
>(X'5F19') by 19 SPACES.

EXAMPLE:

Input record:


The output will be


Note : Along with this I had some 30 different conditions, which I was able to code with ICETOOL.
So if there are more than one ways to do it, I'd prefer ICETOOL

Thanks for your help in advance.

Can you post what you have already then? Difficult to fit it into something we haven't seen

actaully for every condition,I am reading the input file and applying the condition.
So all the steps are independent of each other.

I just wanted to use ICETOOL, so that I dont have to code a new step.
