Hi,

I'm attempting to create separate order files from one consolidated orders
file. To do this, I'm reading the file with the WHILE commands, and then
using the SETVAR and ECHO commands to copy the files to a temporary file,
which will then be saved in the POSIX directory.

My source file has a file length of 468 characters. At some point within my
process, there seems to be a limit of 256 characters. Could someone direct
me to where this is, and how to cure it? Below is the JCL

Thanks and Regards and Seasons Greetings to all.

Steve
