Hi, perhaps i am working on a complex task... my actual source is : The following is my actual input.

+          
KURSDA   DS    XL4                     KURS-DATUM 30.06.XXXX
[download]

my requirements are: generate 3 files 1)variable file , 2)code file ,3)macro file things has to be done: 1) in VARIABLE FILE: in statement

"KURSDA   DS    XL4'1000'   KURS-DATUM 30.06.XXXX " i have to move the following values to the variable file...

    vairable    length    datatype     value       description        
+      
    KURSDA      4         X            1000        KURS-DATUM 30.06.XX
+XX

2)in CODE FILE: here i have to modify the code: 1)remove line comments 2)remove "EQU *" from the code 3)append statement starting with BNE to the previous statement starting with CLI 4)all statements with DC,DS and EQU should be removed the final output should look like:

    BEGIN                                                             
+      
                                   
         L     R1,0(R1)                               
         CLI    R3,0(,R1) BNE    R4,2(,R1)                           
         LTR   R3,R3                                         
         @PUT  FFILE,ADR=ZEILE
[download]

3)in MACRO FILE: and L,CLI,BNE,LTR,DC,DS all are keywords... i need to capture all other than keywords and push to the variable file. foe example: "@PUT  FFILE,ADR=ZEILE            MACRO   " here @PUT is not a keyword. so that should be pushed to the variable file and the next argument under the column value and the 3rd argument"MACRO" under description..that is,it should look like,

vairable        value                   description              
    @PUT            FFILE,ADR=ZEILE         MACRO

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
