I have 2 files File-1 and File-2.I want to combine these 2 files such as after each 3 lines on File-1 one line from File-2 will be inserted.

e.g.
Code:
 
File-1     File-2            OUTPUT
   A           B                 A
   A           B                 A
   A           B                 A
   A           B                 B
   A                             A
   A                             A
   A                             A
   A                             B
   A                             A .... and so on

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

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG  DD SYSOUT=*
//IN1 DD *
F1 RECORD 01
F1 RECORD 02
F1 RECORD 03
F1 RECORD 04
F1 RECORD 05
F1 RECORD 06
F1 RECORD 07
F1 RECORD 08
F1 RECORD 09
F1 RECORD 10
F1 RECORD 11
F1 RECORD 12
F1 RECORD 13
/*
//IN2 DD *
F2 RECORD 01
F2 RECORD 02
F2 RECORD 03
F2 RECORD 04
/*
//T1 DD DSN=&&T1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(,PASS)
//T2 DD DSN=&&T2,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(,PASS)
//TOOLIN   DD    *
COPY FROM(IN1) TO(T1) USING(CTL1)
COPY FROM(IN2) TO(T2) USING(CTL2)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
  INREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,8,ZD,START=10,INCR=10)
/*
//CTL2CNTL DD *
  INREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,8,ZD,START=31,INCR=30)
/*
//S2    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN01 DD DSN=&&T1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTIN02 DD DSN=&&T2,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file (FB/80)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  MERGE FIELDS=(81,8,ZD,A)
  OUTREC BUILD=(1,80)
/*


SORTOUT would have:

Code:

F1 RECORD 01   
F1 RECORD 02   
F1 RECORD 03   
F2 RECORD 01   
F1 RECORD 04   
F1 RECORD 05   
F1 RECORD 06   
F2 RECORD 02   
F1 RECORD 07   
F1 RECORD 08   
F1 RECORD 09   
F2 RECORD 03   
F1 RECORD 10   
F1 RECORD 11   
F1 RECORD 12   
F2 RECORD 04   
F1 RECORD 13

Thank you,
Looks gr8!!

But how this works and how can i modify it
(e.g. instade of 1 line from file 2 i want to insert 5 lines from file 2!!!)

especially
//CTL1CNTL DD *
INREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,8,ZD,START=10,INCR=10)

any link/document?

Your previous example has only 4 records in file 2, is there more? Do you mean to have 5 from file 2 inserted after each line from file 1 or after every third line from file 1?

Yup .....

Just wanted to understand how it is coded, what parameters are specified


Thanks for the link

Okey ............
Now i got little idea how it is working!
Insert a seq. number after from position 81...
Increment file 1 by 10 .......... 10,20,30 .........
Increment file 2 by 30 .......... 31,61,91 ..........

Then merge 2 files and take only 80 bytes ..........

Wooooh! Smart way !!!!!

This works gr88888888 .............

But again, how to change it if i want to insert 2 records from file 2 after 3 records from file 1

Output shud look like
Code:

F1 RECORD 01   
F1 RECORD 02   
F1 RECORD 03   
F2 RECORD 01
F2 RECORD 02 
F1 RECORD 04   
F1 RECORD 05   
F1 RECORD 06   
F2 RECORD 03 
F2 RECORD 04 
F1 RECORD 07
............. so on

Can you think of a sequencing method to get you what you want?
Have you looked at the manual and some of the smart sort tricks?

hsk,

Did you figure it out or do you need more help? If you did figure it out, please post your solution to help others in the future who might look at this topic.

Yup ...........
I could make it work ...........
Not sure if this THE BEST solution, rather this not the best solution .....

Following are the details @ my problem and the solution,
Problem:
I have 2 files File1 and File2
Code:

      File1                             File2
F1 RECORD 01      F2 RECORD 01
F1 RECORD 02      F2 RECORD 02
F1 RECORD 03      F2 RECORD 03
F1 RECORD 04      F2 RECORD 04
F1 RECORD 05      F2 RECORD 05
F1 RECORD 06      F2 RECORD 06
F1 RECORD 07      F2 RECORD 07
F1 RECORD 08      F2 RECORD 08
F1 RECORD 09      F2 RECORD 09
F1 RECORD 10      F2 RECORD 10
F1 RECORD 11      F2 RECORD 11
F1 RECORD 12      F2 RECORD 12
F1 RECORD 13      F2 RECORD 13

So on ........


Now i want to insert certain records from file2 in to file1 with specific order. Suppose e.g. i want to insert 5 records from file2 after 3 records from file1.
So output should look like
Code:

  output file
F1 RECORD 01
F1 RECORD 02
F1 RECORD 03
F2 RECORD 01
F2 RECORD 02
F2 RECORD 03
F2 RECORD 04
F2 RECORD 05
F1 RECORD 04
F1 RECORD 05
F1 RECORD 06
F2 RECORD 06
F2 RECORD 07
F2 RECORD 08
F2 RECORD 09
F2 RECORD 10
F1 RECORD 07
F1 RECORD 08
F1 RECORD 09
 so on ........


Solution:
Split File2 in to 5 files such as
Code:


    F1            F2         F3                   F4                F5
F2 RECORD 01      F2 RECORD 02      F2 RECORD 03      F2 RECORD 04      F2 RECORD 05
F2 RECORD 06      F2 RECORD 07      F2 RECORD 08      F2 RECORD 09      F2 RECORD 10
F2 RECORD 11      F2 RECORD 12      F2 RECORD 13      F2 RECORD 14      F2 RECORD 15
F2 RECORD 16      F2 RECORD 17      F2 RECORD 18      F2 RECORD 19      F2 RECORD 20
F2 RECORD 21      F2 RECORD 22      F2 RECORD 23      F2 RECORD 24      F2 RECORD 25
F2 RECORD 26      F2 RECORD 27      F2 RECORD 28      F2 RECORD 29      F2 RECORD 30
so on


Now i add SEQNUM in all files as follows
Increment file 1 by 10 .......... 10,20,30 .........
Increment file F1 by 30 .......... 31,61,91 ..........
Increment file F2 by 30 .......... 32,62,92 ..........
Increment file F3 by 30 .......... 33,63,93 ..........
Increment file F4 by 30 .......... 34,64,94 ..........
Increment file F5 by 30 .......... 35,65,95 ..........

Then merge all 6 files sorted on seqnum ......... it's done!!!!

Here is the jcl i used
Code:

//***** SPLIT FILE2 INTO 5 FILES ************

This DFSORT/ICETOOL job is a beter alternative. icon_biggrin.gif

If you don't mind using two steps, you can do a MERGE instead of a SORT which would be more efficient:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG  DD SYSOUT=*
//IN1 DD DSN=...  input file1 (FB/80)
//IN2 DD DSN=...  input file2 (FB/80)
//T1 DD DSN=&&T1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(MOD,PASS)
//T2 DD DSN=&&T2,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(MOD,PASS)
//TOOLIN   DD    *
COPY FROM(IN1) TO(T1) USING(CTL1)
COPY FROM(IN2) TO(T2) USING(CTL2)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
* Get seqnum as 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
* Divide by +3 to get 0, 0, 0, 1, ...
  INREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,8,ZD,START=0,
     81:81,8,ZD,DIV,+3,TO=ZD,LENGTH=8)
/*
//CTL2CNTL DD *
* Get seqnum as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
* Divide by +5 to get 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, ...
  INREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,8,ZD,START=0,
     81:81,8,ZD,DIV,+5,TO=ZD,LENGTH=8)

Gr888888, i guess this is most generic jcl and can be used for any sort of combination (x records from file1 and y records from file 2......)
I had thought of this seq. i.e. repeating the number 'n' number of times....but was not able to put it in the mathematical terms !!

This is fantastic!!!!!!!!! icon_biggrin.gif
