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.
