Hi,
Can someone please help me regarding my below query?
I got stuck with the parsing of below copybook layout.
01 EX-Field OCCURS 2 times.
10 Field3 PIC X(04).
10 Field4 PIC X(10).
My input file has data like below:
HeaderYYYYMMDD
NField1~Field2~Field3(1)~Field4(1)~Field3(2)~Field4(2)
VField1Datatype~Field2Datatype~Field3(1)Datatype~Field4(1)Datatype~Field3(2)Datatype~Field4(2)Datatype
D111~abcd~G12~~~H773
D2222~abc~G443~H553~G663~H774
Trailer0002
I used REPEAT in the case if Field3 alone occurs 2 times and so I used below card
%3=(ENDBEFR=C'~',FIXLEN=4,REPEAT=2)
But Field3 & Field 4 of two different field lengths are defined under one array in copybook.
Parse fields of different lengths defined under single array

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 your record. Then use OVERLAY to put the first n bytes of each of those fields into the correct place. Finally ensure the record is cut down to the desired size.
