Hi All,

I have one file which has got records at first two lines as below

Line 1: 1 to 46 Col is => DATADATADATADATADATADATADATADADATADATADATADATA
Line 2: 47 to 50 Col is => 0002

I need to append 47th Col of Line 1 with the value present in 47th Col of Line 2 and rest of the lines can remain as it is, output will be like
Line 1: DATADATADATADATADATADATADATADADATADATADATADATA0002

Kindly assist to get this in SORT.

Hello,

What have you tried? What happened?

Is this the same request you send me via Private message? The Private message talks about 2 different files and here you have just 1 file. which requirement is the real one?

Hi Kolusu,

I am extremely Thankful for your help..its the similar request to the one I sent in PM but here we have a single file.
Is there a way to read Line 2 record of a file and update Line 1 record using SORT...

Regards

Sending PMs, making public solicitations, are both "bad form", a mis-use of people's time. To us, the importance of your task is of no real interest. It is something that you/your organisation should have thought about and planned for much earlier. If you have something you are "keen" to see done at short notice, locate someone (even here ) who can do it, and pay them.

Any good effects of your effusiveness are not long-lasting, by the way.
