Hello Bill,

When i am reading a DSN(file) which contains data about imp table then how to read this?


How to read the above formatt it is in hexa form?

I have another sample data used when hexa is off 000002 2 çp ?AJ9801.

Hello,

Notice your data has now been "Code"ed. You should practice with the Code tag so when you post things like data or code or jcl it is more readable.

Is there some reason you did not post the hex for the second bit of data?

which contains data about imp table

What does this mean? What is an "imp table"?

then how to read this

You would issue a read in your code.

Your topic is in the jcl part of the forum. Is there some reason for this?

Once the question/requirement becomes clear, we can move the topic if necessary.

Here imp table reffers to import table records.I want to know which column contains,what value?
Like column 1 to 4 Packed decimal, then how to enter those value manually into that Dsn While using jcl?

Hello,

You need to do a more thorough job of explaining what it is you are trying to accomplish. . .

When using jcl to write data into a file, it is not manual If you want to manually enter values into a dataset, you can use the tso/ispf editor.

If you post what you "have" to be used as input and show what you want as output, someone may have a suggestion.

Hello dick,

Thanks for your suggestion.
