Receive Data and Insert Constants
You use this program to insert constants into the data you are
receiving. The records are written to disk with the constants
(indicated in the program buffer) inserted in the corresponding
position of the record. Receive data and insert constants pro-
grams must contain:
1.
A greater than sign
(>)
in position 1.
2.
The constant data in the positions that correspond to the
positions that it is to occupy in the data record; each posi-
tion that does not contain constant data must contain a
greater than sign. (Position 1 cannot contain constant
data to be inserted.)
The following is an example of receiving data and inserting
172
The number of greater than signs must equal the number of
characters received per record. The record written to disk
contains a character (from the data received) for each greater
than sign and for each character of constant data specified
in the program buffer.
