Simplified Example: txt1= '000350000400321000350000400321000350000400321' txt2= '000060000200032000060000200032000060000200032' sum='000410000600353000410000600353000410000600353' -->Wish to get. The example txt strings are strings of individual counts, each occupying 5 digits. I need to add each pair of counts in their position. In my case, each string is 235 digits long. Informat is limited to 30 or 31 wide. where sum=txt1+txt2. Of course I can read each count, add them up and re-form the sum string but I wonder if there is another, simpler way such as: adding long text strings, converting to integers, Boolean, binary, hex?
