Thank you all for your responses! Sorry for the late reply, I was off sick and had quite a bit of work to catch up on when I got back![icon_smile.gif]()
The destination system receiving the feed from us mentioned later that they would require one space between pipes if a field is empty. So what I finally did was to move the input data to into fixed positions in the output record using a program (used a program instead of a PARSE as there were a few manipulations to be done on some of the fields) and then a SORT SQZ to remove consecutive spaces.
And for the record, I wasn't sitting idle waiting for the forum reply. There were n number of other things being worked upon in parallel![icon_biggrin.gif]()
As I have been out of touch with mainframe for a while, I was only checking if there were methods more efficient than mine to achieve my requirement.
Thank you once again!
