Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Sorry, but I don't know COBOL and have absolutely no idea, what you want to achieve.

Do you just want to separate text/number with dashes?
What is the COBOL format and how should the items be separated?

Please provide a little more information.

I want to write to space with "-" for a separate integer and separate character such as
Value Cobal Format Data Type Data Length. Start Position End Position
xx-xxx-xx-xxxx-xxxx. 9(4) NUMERIC 4 1 4

Unfortunately I still don't understand what you need.

Could you describe it in a different way?
And give an example input/output.

Input asdfggh Output asd-fg-gh by Conditional is start position : 1 and end position : 4.

asdfghjk to asd-fg-hijk = 3, 2 and 4 characters (You must have missed the letter "i" in the before string)
1234567 to 12-345-67 = 2, 3 and 2 characters
xx-xxx-xx-xxxx-xxxx = 2, 3, 2, 4 and 4 characters
asdfggh to asd-fg-gh = 3, 2 and 2 characters
Is there a logic in it? The four examples you gave us are all different.

If you answer the question first. What is the logic?
When do we split into 3, 2 and 4 and when into 2, 3 and 2 and when into 2, 3, 2, 4 and 4 and when into 3, 2 and 2 characters? And I assume there are others yet to come.

both characters and numeric.
the logic is a separate sheet then output sheet (A) equal to as-df-ghj and sheet(B) 1234-334-234.
