Well, that sounds like two separate things. Firstly something to create your history, secondly something to allow the history to be viewed. At least two separate programs, and yes, you'll need to give the user functionality to do things, so sending and receiving for sure.

Yes, of course you can. However, I think you have a different question than the one you asked.

Well, are you really sure that a Unix file can be a "VB" in a way that could be recognised by Easytrieve? If so, it must be in your documentation. If not, how you'd do it instead... must be in your documentation.

This is a Mainframe forum. What Unix are you running on? Is the "VB" file a Unix file, or a z/OS file?

The fact that you show data which is irregular implies that you have to deal with anything being irregular with your name data. This would include a comma being missing, and if there is a comma in the data following, that will cause you problems. So, first use OVERLAY to relocate your 40-byte field ...

So, when the first-name is an initial or the last-name is two characters, you want to extract?

Don't worry, you mentioned it previously. If SyncSORT has only 99 PARSEd fields, there's a problem with the approach. You could consider writing a COBOL E15 exit. Or you could continue, with a multi-step approach. Whichever, make sure you have everything nailed-down and designed before you start cod...

When DFSORT introduced REPEAT= on PARSE, they extended the number of PARSEd fields to 1000.

If you don't have 1000 PARSEd fields available, things become more tricky.

I think where there are multiple data-items in an OCCURS, I'd make them all the same FIXEDLEN (the longest, of course). When BUILDing with the PARSEd parameters, i'd leave some blanks for all the PARSEd fields which needed to be shortened, and then place those long fields in a temporary extension to...

Well, you could PARSE both as FIXLEN=10 and then shorten to your four-byte field afterwards. Probably not worth it for an OCCURS 2.

DFSORT has a REPEAT= on PARSE. If your SyncSORT doesn't have that, you'll just have to code them out.
