Help needed on JCL SORT

Post by jpjf » Fri Oct 13, 2017 4:35 pm

Hi, below are the contents of my file. My requirement is to extract the data between the tags DI and RF. The 2 digits after DI and RF specifies the length of the data, followed by the actual data.
For example: In the first record, DI is followed by the length of the data, which is 02, then followed by the actual data 74.

00DI0274RF010
00DI0278RF010
00DI03108RF010
00DI03120RF010
00DI016RF010
00DI017RF010
00DI0214RF010
00DI0215RF010

My desired output:
74
78
108
120
6
7
14
15

I tried to do it through SORT, but unsuccessful. Can someone please help?
