Heelo i have a dataset



and i would like to get this



skipping the first line et the number which are in 8 characters moving in column 1 by changing the space by 0 to get a number in 8 charaters in the outfile.

thank's for your help.

try something like

If the data on the first record is "regular" enough (like a single value, or a range of values, or a position which on the data-record is always blank, but on the first record can never be blank, then you can use INCLUDE COND= or OMIT COND= to get rid of it. Else you have to append a sequence number long enough to hold the count of all your records, and use OUFIL INCLUDE=/OMIT= to get rid of records with a sequence of 1, and a BUILD to get ride of the appended data.

To get your number, just BUILD=(13,8,FS,EDIT=(TTTTTTTT)) should do you.

Thank's BillyBoyo for your help.

Here is my jcl for the real file whose dcb is LRECL : 300 and FB and the numbers are in the positions 63.

Thanks for the example. Of course SKIPREC is good. There is even a second shot with OUTFIL if required.
