I want to eleminate first and last record from input file and copy rest of the records to an output file.
I can only use SORT (DFSORT or SYNCSORT) and FILEAID.

Please advice.

Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes.

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (FB/100)
//T1 DD DSN=&&T1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(,PASS)
//S1 DD DSN=&&S1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),DISP=(,PASS)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  OUTFIL FNAMES=T1,OVERLAY=(101:SEQNUM,8,ZD)
  OUTFIL FNAMES=S1,REMOVECC,NODETAIL,BUILD=(80X),
    TRAILER1=('Lastrec,+',COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=8))
/*
//S2    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&S1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTIN DD DSN=&&T1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file (FB/100)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  OMIT COND=(101,8,ZD,EQ,+1,OR,101,8,ZD,EQ,Lastrec)
  OUTREC BUILD=(1,100)
/*

Frank,

How do we capture the removed header record into another flat file?

Many thanks,
Twissi.

If you want the data records in one file and the header record in another file, you can use this DFSORT job:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (FB/100)
//T1 DD DSN=&&T1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(,PASS)
//S1 DD DSN=&&S1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),DISP=(,PASS)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  OUTFIL FNAMES=T1,OVERLAY=(101:SEQNUM,8,ZD)
  OUTFIL FNAMES=S1,REMOVECC,NODETAIL,BUILD=(80X),
    TRAILER1=('Lastrec,+',COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=8))
/*
//S2    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&S1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTIN DD DSN=&&T1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//OUT     DD DSN=... output file (FB/100)
//HDR     DD DSN=... header record file (FB/100)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,
    OMIT=(101,8,ZD,EQ,+1,OR,101,8,ZD,EQ,Lastrec),
    BUILD=(1,100)
  OUTFIL FNAMES=HDR,ENDREC=1,BUILD=(1,100)

You can now do this more easily using the new SUBSET operator of DFSORT's ICETOOL available with z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90013 (July, 2008) like this:

Code:

//S1  EXEC  PGM=ICETOOL                                           
//TOOLMSG   DD  SYSOUT=*                                         
//DFSMSG    DD  SYSOUT=*                                         
//IN DD DSN=...  input file (FB/100)
//OUT     DD DSN=... output file (FB/100)
//HDR     DD DSN=... header record file (FB/100)
//TOOLIN DD *                                                     
SUBSET FROM(IN) TO(OUT) REMOVE INPUT HEADER TRAILER -             
  DISCARD(HDR) USING(CTL1)                                       
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *                   
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT               
  OUTFIL FNAMES=HDR,ENDREC=1     
/*
