Hi,

I assume that your input datset is with record length 80.

Here is the Solution you asked for

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                             
//*                                                     
//TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//IN       DD *                                         
123                                                     
12345                                                   
1234567                                                 
/*                                                       
//T1       DD DSN=&T1,DISP=(,PASS),SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE)
//T2       DD DSN=&T2,DISP=(,PASS),SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE)
//T3       DD DSN=&T3,DISP=(,PASS),SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE)
//CON      DD DSN=&T1,DISP=OLD,VOL=REF=*.T1             
//         DD DSN=&T2,DISP=OLD,VOL=REF=*.T2             
//         DD DSN=&T3,DISP=OLD,VOL=REF=*.T3             
//OUT      DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//TOOLIN   DD *                                         
  COPY FROM(IN)  USING(CTL1)                                 
  SPLICE FROM(CON) TO(OUT) ON(81,8,ZD) KEEPNODUPS  WITHEACH -
  WITH(4,5) WITH(9,7) USING(CTL2)                             
/*                                                           
//CTL1CNTL DD *                                               
  OUTFIL FNAMES=T1,STARTREC=1,SAMPLE=(3,1),                   
  OUTREC=(1,3,77X,81:SEQNUM,8,ZD)                             
  OUTFIL FNAMES=T2,STARTREC=2,SAMPLE=(3,1),                   
  OUTREC=(3X,4:1,5,72X,81:SEQNUM,8,ZD)                       
  OUTFIL FNAMES=T3,STARTREC=3,SAMPLE=(3,1),                   
  OUTREC=(8X,9:1,7,65X,81:SEQNUM,8,ZD)                       
//CTL2CNTL DD *                                               
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,OUTREC=(1,3,X,4,5,X,9,7,80:X)             
/*             


Hope it helps!

Thanks subhasis

My inupt file consits of 3 records earch with one field of 5 chars lenght. Each record is of lengh 80.

Just for example i gave the records as
1
123
12345

but it can have any values in these three records.

Arun

There are several problems with Subhasis's solution:
1) It assumes that the first record has 3 characters, the second record has 5 characters and the third record has 7 characters. This is obviously not the case given Arun's second example. It won't work correctly for other cases. For example, if the input was:

Code:

1234567
ABCD   
E         


The output would be:

Code:

123 ABCD  E


Note that characters have been truncated.

2) It doesn't put just one space between each field which is what I believe Arun wants. Note that there are two spaces between D and E in the example above.

3) It uses referback in concatenation which can cause problems due to a system restriction.

Here's a better, simpler and more efficient DFSORT job that will handle 1 to 7 characters in any record and only put one space between the resulting fields. You'll need z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90007 or DFSORT R14 PTF UK90006 (April, 2006) in order to use DFSORT's SQZ and INREC with SPLICE functions. If you don't have the April, 2006 PTF, ask your System Programmer to install it (it's free). For complete details on all of the new DFSORT and ICETOOL functions available with the April, 2006 PTF, see:

Use [URL] BBCode for External Links

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*
//IN       DD DSN=...  input file (FB/7)
//OUT      DD DSN=...  output file (FB/23)
//TOOLIN   DD *
SPLICE FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(8,1,CH) -
  WITHEACH WITH(9,7) WITH(17,7) USING(CTL1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
  INREC IFOUTLEN=23,
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,OVERLAY=(24:SEQNUM,1,ZD)),
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=(24,1,ZD,EQ,+2),BUILD=(9:1,7)),
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=(24,1,ZD,EQ,+3),BUILD=(17:1,7))
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,BUILD=(1,23,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT,MID=C' '))

Hi,

i want to pass a file name as perameter to this sort, which should come as first field in the out put .

How can i do that.

example:

input:

123
12345
123456

output:
filename 123 12345 123456

Thanks,
Arun.

You can pass the filename as a DFSORT Symbol like this (put the filename between the apostrophes for the name symbol):

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD *
name,'filename'
/*
//IN       DD DSN=...  input file (FB/7)
//OUT      DD DSN=...  output file (FB/32)
//TOOLIN   DD *
SPLICE FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(8,1,CH) -
  WITHEACH WITH(9,7) WITH(17,7) USING(CTL1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
  INREC IFOUTLEN=23,
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,OVERLAY=(24:SEQNUM,1,ZD)),
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=(24,1,ZD,EQ,+2),BUILD=(9:1,7)),
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=(24,1,ZD,EQ,+3),BUILD=(17:1,7))
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,BUILD=(name,X,
      1,23,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT,MID=C' '))

With z/OS DFSORT V1R10 PTF UK90025 or z/OS DFSORT V1R12 PTF UK90026 (Oct,2010), you can now use the new RESIZE operator of DFSORT's ICETOOL to do this more easily like this:

Code:

//NEW EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD *
name,'filename'
/*
//IN       DD DSN=...  input file (FB/7)
//OUT      DD DSN=...  output file (FB/32)
//TOOLIN   DD *
RESIZE FROM(IN) TO(OUT) TOLEN(24) USING(CTL1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
  INREC OVERLAY=(8:X)
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,BUILD=(name,X,
    1,24,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT,MID=C' ',LENGTH=23))
/*
