Don't think you can change the Order (RRN) of an Arrival Sequence File. But if you wanted to do it using 2 files and SQL, this works:


Assuming we're working with "Flat" Files


Contents of File testf:

Record One
Record Two
Record Three
Last Data Record

File Testf2 has no Data to Start.

Excute the following SQL Statements:

insert into Testf2 Values('*** Header Record ***')

insert into Testf2 select testf from Testf

insert into Testf2  select '*** Trailer Record *** ' ||
Char( count(*) - 1) from Testf2

Contents of File Testf2 to be FTP'd:

*** Header Record ***
Record One
Record Two
Record Three
Last Data Record
*** Trailer Record *** 4


Trailer Record includes Record Count of Data Records Only


Doin't know if that's any easier than what you're doing now.
