/*Detailed Explanation for Overlay
Using OVERLAY, you reformat each record by specifying just the items that overlay specific columns.
OVERLAY lets you change specific existing columns without affecting the entire record. In the below example:
OUTREC OVERLAY=(45:45,8,TRAN=LTOU)
Starts from position 45, and length 8, translating lower case to upper case. This example clearly tells how we can use Overlay.
One of the frequently asked interview Question, in IBM, Tech Mahindra, CTS, and Dell. Why means all financial projects using Sort, to sort all reports.
The OVERLAY you can apply in both the INREC and OUTREC formattings.
