Hi,
in our shop we use Syncsort. i came to know that Syncsort does not have the IFTHEN facility. Can anyone tell how to code IFTHEN equivalent using Syncsort.
For Example,
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file
//SYSIN DD
OPTION COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,6,CH,EQ,C' '),OVERLAY=(6C'0'))
/*
How can we code this using SYNCSORT.
Please tell me the sites which have syncsort documentation.
Thank You |

| If your Syncsort is current, BUILD, IFTHEN, IFOUTLEN, and OVERLAY parameters are there. |

The Syncsort version used in our shot is SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.2.2.3R.
Does this version support the above parameters ? |

Hello,
Syncsort 1.2 is the current release (AFAIK).
These parameters are not in the current documentation (BUILD, IFTHEN, IFOUTLEN, and OVERLAY). They might be incorporated in Synctool which currently has no distributed documentation. Synctool provides some of the functionality of ICETOOL, so it may be worth a try.
There should be a new release early in 2008 (doesn't do much good now  ) that includes new sort and tool modules as well as documentation for Synctool. |

IFTHEN, etc are INREC, OUTREC and OUTFIL parameters. They have nothing to do with SYNCTOOL.

I don't think it's appropriate for anybody outside of Syncsort to be making these kinds of statements (actually I don't think it's appropriate for anybody inside of Syncsort to be making these kinds of statements since there's no guarantee it will happen until it happens). |

Heck I've only got 1.2.1.1N and I've got them....
As I've said before:

Alissa Margulies of SyncSort Mainframe Product Services indicated that I should feel free to pass on her contact info to anyone who is in need of manuals and she would be happy to assist. |
If email, use your company email address. Be sure to ask for the PDF "Addendum. BUILD, IFTHEN, IFOUTLEN, and OVERLAY Parameters" (zos12padd.pdf). |

but when i talked with development/support folks at Syncsort, they gave the green light.
As you say, no guarantee until it happens.
Thanks for this info "zos12padd.pdf". I'll have to get that downloaded. |

I know I shouldn't, but I can't resist.
Actually on public boards: First they said "soon" (that was several months ago), then they said "this summer", and now they're saying "early in 2008". Take that for what it's worth. |

Kinda like - "if it happens, it must be possible". . . .  |
