Hi All,

I am trying to pull data from a file with delimiter (;).
I could achieve this by using-
INREC PARSE=(%00=(ENDBEFR=C';',FIXLEN=8),%02=(FIXLEN=10)),
BUILD=(%00,%02)

Input-
X1234567;08/03/2023

Output-
X123456708/03/2023

Now I need to add, preceding zero to the first column, to make it of length 16-
for this I tried using
BUILD=(%00,UFF,M11,LENGTH=16,%02)
But as its alphanumeric filed the first byte is ignored-

Input-
X1234567;08/03/2023
X124123;08/03/2023

Output-
000000000123456708/03/2023
000000000012412308/03/2023

Exptect output-
00000000X123456708/03/2023
000000000X12412308/03/2023

Can someone guide me on this?
