I have a variable length record that has a variable length customer name and address area within the record. There a length indicator that specifies the length of the customer N&A area. Hoping to set up a template that would look for a length indicator at a certain position and applying it to the next X num of bytes. This variable area is at the end of the record, but I am sure one day we will have to add data after it.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

I don't understand the question. . .

I will give it another try. It is a question about IBM File Manager (FM). It is a tool for viewing, updating and sorting mainframe files. I want to create a FM template for my customer file so that I can use the SINGL view to see the field name from within FM.

My file has a variable length customer name/address (NA) area. So the first 1500 bytes (or so) of the file have a standard record layout. Then the next area is the customer NA. Right before the NA is a NA-length. If it =0 then there is no NA information and we are at end of record. If the NA-length = 10, then we have ten bytes of customer NA and then end of record. I want the template to include the customer NA layout.

For now, the customer NA area is at the end of the record. But soon we will have to had additional fields and the NA will be followed by other non-NA fields, say a 50 byte collateral record. So if the NA-Length = 0, then we have 50 bytes until end of record. If the NA-length = 20, then we have 70 bytes until end of record.

I want to create a File Manager template.

Hello,

I don't have File Manager available. In FileAid, there is the capability to simply name a "copybook" and the data is shown using the copybook. Does File Manager not have the same capability?
