Can any one please let me know how to give a Symbolic overrides within SYSIN card of SORT statement in JCL .
Example:
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(20,01,CH,EQ,C'R',AND,
90,07,CH,GE,C'2070416',AND,
90,07,CH,LE,C'2070422')
|
Can the date variables '2070416' and '2070422' be overriden ? |

| Input can not be overriden directly but a sysin dataset can be created dynamically. |

| Can you please let me know the procedure to create Dynamic Sysin card so that manual updation of data can be avoided within the INCLUDE statement |

You can use DFSORT Symbols for fields or constants in DFSORT and ICETOOL statements. For example, you could use:
| Code: |
...
//SYMNAMES DD *
MYDATE1,'2070416'
MYDATE2,'2070422'
/*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(20,01,CH,EQ,C'R',AND,
90,07,CH,GE,MYDATE1,AND,
90,07,CH,LE,MYDATE2)
/*
|
You can then override MYDATE1 and MYDATE2 with any dates you supply in SYMNAMES. For example:
| Code: |
//SYMNAMES DD *
MYDATE1,'2070501'
MYDATE2,'2070512'
/*
|
SYMNAMES can also point to a sequential data set or pds member as long as it has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80.
For more information on DFSORT symbols, see:
publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ICE1CA20/7.0?DT=20060615185603
If that's not what you want to do, then you need to explain in more detail what it is you want to do. |

Thanks frank.
The above code is working fine. But please find a small change to it.
| Code: |
//SYMNAMES DD *
MYDATE1,C'2070501'
MYDATE2,C'2070502'
/*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(20,01,CH,EQ,C'R',AND,
90,07,CH,GE,MYDATE1,AND,
90,07,CH,LE,MYDATE2)
/*

A small, unnessary change. DFSORT will treat:
MYDATE1,'2070501'
the same as:
MYDATE1,C'2070501'
You can code the C if you like but you don't need it. |
