Hi All,

One use of the STARTOOL Utility

for Example,

//MOVE EXEC STARTOOL,PRINT='*',PARM='TSO',COND=(4,LT)
//STARTOOL.DD01 DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(OLD,DELETE)
//DD01O DD DSN=GUNA.OUTPUT,
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=500,BLKSIZE=0),
// DISP=(,CATLG),
// UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=,SPACE=(TRK,(20,50))
//STARTOOL.INPUT DD *
$$DD01 COPYALL MOVE=(1,0,5)
/*

We can use the above code to remove the first 4 columns in the dataset.

same way we can use the STARTOOL Utility, for the different use.

Friends start your disscussion abt the this..........

Hi,

We can use this STARTOOL Utility to copy the content of the one dataset to another dataset based on the conditions,

for eg,
1. to remove the particular column
2. to remove the particular row
3. copy the particular column or row,
etc.

hi..

can we use this instead of an ice tool?merging without the match check?
for eg-
say file1 has 3 columns a,b,c,e
file2 has a,f

and i want f to appear in file1 as well...can we do this? a is the common key between the two?
