Hello,

Please post the messages generated by the problem run including the message ids.

Also, you need to use the "code" tag to preserve alignment and improve readability.

You are also not providing the RDW on the output record - it starts at position 1 for 4 bytes so your data starts at position 5.

rajaranganathan,

If your intention is to create a 80 byte file with DELETE control cards, remove the hardcoded DCB properties in your JCL and use the following control cards

Select all

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL VTOF,BUILD=(C'DELETE ',5,15,80:X)
