I have a dataset and i need to overlay the field starting from column 106-110 with values 999.99. This field currently has different values.Field is declared as S999V99.
I have heard that we can use the line command overlay but I am not sure how to use it. |

If you have an existing value on the field, it cannot be overlayed.
You can do an overlay, like this
| Code: |
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
C TEST
O
****** **************************** Bottom of Data ****************************

Your suggestion may not work properly as the source statement should not contain a value in anyother col other than 106-110. consider this
| Code: |
***************************** To
//SOURCE-LINE TEST
//TARGET LINE |
If you try to overlay 'source-line', 'target line' becomes 'target-line'. |

| If the OP was to give an example of input and expected output we may be able to offer some guidance rather than guesses. |

Use picture string mask to overlay any existing values
| Code: |
| C p'=====' '99999' 106 ALL |
