If you have two VB files, or two FB files with the same LRECL, and you want to sort them on a common key, you can use a DFSORT job like this:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file1
// DD DSN=... input file2
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(p,m,f,a)
/*
|
where p,m,f,a is the starting position, length, format and sequence (ascending or descending) of the key, e.g. 5,4,CH,A.
If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
