Hello,
I have in my file lets say 9 records for eg:
111111111111111
222222222222222
333333333333333
444444444444444
555555555555555
666666666666666
.....................
999999999999999

I want in my same file as a trailer record the total number of records of length 5.
i.e my final op file should be.

11111111111111
22222222222222
33333333333333
...................
99999999999999
00009


What do i do?
I tried using ICETOOL to obtain tot no. of records and wrote to a different file.
And thought i could IEBGENER the two files. But ICETOOL created a file with many other information along with total no. of records.

Below is the Sample Ouptut from ICETOOL

Have a look in your documentation for TRAILER1, or search in this forum for TRAILER1, you'll find examples.
