That ran(I am on Solaris), but something still isn't quite right. The record length before adding the date is fixed 750 characters. I need the date added to every line, including the header, to making each record 758 characters fixed. Below is the beginning and end of the record of the first few lines in the file. You can see the date is not added to the beginning of the header record, which throws off the record length/wrapping of all subsequent records. The 'X' indicates the end of the record and should be in position 758 with the date added. Then each record after the header should start '20110705EB'. I can also see the 20110705 date added to each record(except the header), but it seems to be added somewhere in the middle of the record.
I have a flat file and need to count no of records in the file less the header and the trailer record.
I would appreciate any and all asistance
Thanks
