Deleting Header trailer

Post by Migul » Fri Feb 06, 2009 11:31 pm

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this utility..can any one please help me ...Please reply with example of code...

I have a file with header and trailer. So far we were using Cobol prog to Validate header and trailer and generate output file, but now they want to use some other way to take care of this instead of using COBOL. Can any one tell me how can i use Sycsort or any utility for deleting header and trailer..example is below:
Input file:

HDRDESCDATE
1123....
2311...
3245...
4565...
TRL0004

I want to validate header and trailer and check whether the count in trailer maches with the count of record ...if everything is good copy the file (without header and trailer) to output file else give error..

Output file :
1123....
2311...
3245...
4565...

Thanks in advance..
