Hi ALL,
I want to create an output file which contains a single record repeated n no of times. Also the record to be repeated is known.
eg. The output file should look like
This is a record
This is a record
This is a record
.
.
N no of times.
Can this be achieved by DFSORT or ICETOOL?

| Have you looked at the REPEAT parameter, it can be used to repeat each output record a specified number of times. |

Hi William,
Thanks for your reply.
Got the soln. Is there any better way to this ?
| Code: |
//ABCD EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
/*
//OUT1 DD DSN=Output file name
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT1,
REPEAT=10,
BUILD=(C'THIS IS MY RECORD')
/*

Better how? What's wrong with that way of doing it?
You could put a THIS IS MY RECORD record in SORTIN and just do REPEAT=10 without the BUILD but I'm not sure whether or why you would consider that a better way. |
