Hi,
I want to edit 1st and Last record of a file. All records are similar and we cannot differentiate between them.

eg:- Input File :-
'111111',
'222222',
'333333',
'444444',

Desired output file:-
('111111',
'222222',
'333333',
'444444');

The 1st record should be prefixed with OPEN BRACKET ( and for the LAST record COMMA should be removed and suffixed with CLOSE BRACKET ) and SEMI COLON ;

Can anybody please suggest the most appropiate way.

Thanks

Hi,

Why can't you use REXX to do that.

Using a programming language this would be easy, you know when it's the first record, and at EOF, you know when it's the last record.
With sort, the trick is figuring out when you have the last record, but as shown several times in this forum and in DFSORT's Smart Tricks manual.

If you are looking for attaching this to a query..I think we could do this by single sort with sort card as:

Code:

   INREC  IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,                                     
               BUILD=(1,70,71:SEQNUM,4,ZD)),                   
       IFTHEN=(WHEN=(71,4,ZD,EQ,1),                           
               BUILD=(1:1,8,9:C') ',11:11,70)),               
       IFTHEN=(WHEN=(71,4,ZD,EQ,2),                           
               BUILD=(1:C'(',2:1,9,11:11,60,71:C'9999')),     
       IFOUTLEN=80                                             
   SORT FIELDS=(71,4,ZD,D)                                       
   OUTREC FIELDS=(1,70,10X)                                       


Code:

'111111',   
'222222',   
'333333',   
'444444',   


will be formatted to

Code:

('222222',   
'444444',     
'333333',     
'111111')   


I presume that order will not be a problem if you are attaching this to a query...

kaushik8205,

Here's a DFSORT job that will produce the output in the order you asked for:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (FB/80)
//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
  INREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,8,ZD)
  OUTFIL FNAMES=T1
  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/80)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC IFOUTLEN=80,
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=(81,8,ZD,EQ,+1),
      BUILD=(C'(',1,9)),
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=(81,8,ZD,EQ,LASTREC),
      BUILD=(1,8,C');'))
/*


SORTOUT will have:

Code:

('111111',     
'222222',     
'333333',     
'444444');
