How to Use CULLUS53

To invoke CULLUS53:

1. Define the Input Fields to be concatenated.
2. Define numeric work fields that contain the length of the sending and receiving fields if numeric literals are not used.
3. Define an alphanumeric work field to receive the concatenation.
4. Issue a CALL to CULLUS53 from type 7 logic:

   Col

   ▼
   RPT-nn7sss CALL US53 (first-field-v first-field-length-vn second-field-v
                         second-field-length-vn third-field-v third-field-vn
                         comb-field-v comb-field-length-vn)
   

   • Rpt-nn, coded in columns 2 and 3, specifies a 2-digit number in the range 00 through 99 that identifies the CA Culprit report.
   • Sss, coded in columns 5 through 7, specifies a 3-digit number indicating the sequence number of the type 7 parameter.
   • First-field-v (ARG1) requires the name of the first alphanumeric field for concatenation.
   • First-field-len-vn (ARG2) requires a numeric literal or the name of a numeric work field that specifies the length of the first field to be concatenated (first-field-v).
   • Second-field-v (ARG3) requires the name of the second alphanumeric field for concatenation.
   • Second-field-len-vn (ARG4) requires a numeric literal or the name of a numeric work field that specifies the length of the second field to be concatenated (second-field-v).
   • Third-field-v (ARG5) requires the name of the third alphanumeric field for concatenation.
   • Third-field-len-vn (ARG6) requires a numeric literal or the name of a numeric work field that specifies the length of the third field to be concatenated (third-field-v).
   • Comb-field-v (ARG7) requires the name of the alphanumeric field receiving the concatenation.
   • Comb-field-len-vn (ARG8) requires a numeric literal or a numeric work field that specifies the length of the field receiving the concatenated value (comb-field-v).
