Hi Swapna,
No. There is no copybook (whatever that is) attached to your last post. And there is no sample input file attached to your last post.

If you have the file and do not have the file format and are unable to determine the format by inspecting the data, why do you think that any of us who have never seen the data would have any chance of telling you how to decode it? Our crystal balls do not provide enough magic for us to be able to reliably guess at which bytes in records of unknown size refer to what in the unknown number of data fields in those records containing information about whatever they are intended to contain.

If you are not sure about the file format, contact your customer and get the file format from them. Without knowing the format of the data in the file you are processing, we do not have the information required to be able to help you do anything with your file.

Get the file format from you customer and then add a post to this thread that clearly defines that file format. Then we might be able to help you. Without you and us knowing the file format, there is nothing we can do to help you.

Against my better judgement, I am going to leave this thread open to give you one final chance to tell us the format of the file(s) you will be processing.

fmtdump

FMTDUMP(8)							     [nmh-1.5]								FMTDUMP(8)

NAME

       fmtdump - decode nmh format files

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/mh/fmtdump [-form formatfile] [-format string] [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION

       Fmtdump	is  a  program	that parses an nmh format file and produces a pseudo-language listing of the how nmh interprets the file.  This is
       useful when debugging a complicated format file.

       The -format string and -form formatfile switches may be used to specify a format string or format file to read.	The  string  is  simply  a
       format string and the file is simply a format file.  See mh-format(5) for the details.

FILES

       $HOME/.mh_profile	  The user profile
       /etc/nmh/scan.default	  The default format file

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path:		    To determine the user's nmh directory

SEE ALSO

       mh-format(5), mh-sequences(8)

CONTEXT

       None

BUGS

       The output may not be useful unless you are familiar with the internals of the mh-format subroutines.
