Hi scottaazz,
thanks for you help on this.
But this solution is not working. You solution does replaces record 1 & 3 correctly but changes overall formatting & position of the record no. 1 & 3. i.e 0-1234567890 with 01234567890- and 00-456789012 with 00456789012-.
Please see the attached files source before your command execution and after your command execution.
I need to remove dash (i.e. -) if present from positions 351-357, and then add - (dash) at 357th position. For example in following first and 3rd record we got
Input processing
1) 1st Record positions 351-357 = 0-12345
2) 3rd Record positions 351-357 = 00-4567
Expected output processing:-
1) 1st Record positions 351-357 = 012345-
2) 3rd Record positions 351-357 = 004567-
Total length of record is 413.
