Trimming VB file

Postby kiranp78 » Tue Oct 09, 2012 8:21 am

Hi,
I have a Variable length input file as mentioned below.
ABC*****
XYZAB************
123456**
I want to remove the padded * from the variable length records, so that the output would be
ABC
XYZAB
123456

I tried the below card but it gives error -
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL VTRIM=C'*',OUTREC=(1:1,4,5:5)

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort
