Split the record in a file

[ickgeek23]

Hi to all,

I have one input file like

name1----------------------course1,course2,course3
name2----------------------course2,course3
name3----------------------

output file should be like
name1----------------------course1
name1----------------------course2
name1----------------------course3
name2----------------------course2
name2----------------------course3
name3----------------------

In this course name is of variable length (its length is not fixed), i need to solve with out writing any cobol program, i have to use some utility or EASYTRIEVE program ..... Can anybody help me on this....


Thanks in advance

So, you decided to post this again. . .

What sort of manager allows Easytrieve but not COBOL?

This would be trivial in COBOL. You'll need to loop thru the data if you use Easytrieve.

You should bne able to do what you want using PARSE in Syncsort.
