It's not clear what you want to do. You need to explain it in more detail. Show an example of the records in each input file and what you want for output. Explain the "rules" for getting from input to output. Give the RECFM and LRECL of each input file. Give the starting position, length and format of each relevant field.

ok Frank. For example
i have 3 input datasets. All datasets have the same recfm and lrecl. Those datasets have the numeric fields which starting postion is 8.
In my output dataset, i want to consolidate the all fields from 3 input datasets. In Output dataset, the numeric field should be started from the 8th postion.

Still not clear. What do you mean by "consolidate"? What is the length and format of the numeric field? What is the RECFM and LRECL of the input data sets?

In my first post, I asked you for the information I need to help you:

If it's too much trouble for you to provide that information, then I can't help you.
