hi
i need to sort two files and copy them in a single step.also, i need to give some include condition for sorting
the intention is somewhat like this
//EXEC PGM SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=DSNAME1
DD DSN=DSNAME2
//SORTOUT DD DSN=DSNAME3
SYSIN DD DSN=CARDLIBRARY NAME
In the card library, can i give steps for both sorting and including??
im planning to give
SORT FIELDS=(......)
INCLUDE COND =
SORT FILEDS=COPY |

1. Do you want to SORT and combine the 2 i/p files to one o/p file?
2. Show some example of what you wanted to do? like i/p and o/p records and there details(sample)
3. In the SORT card you show 2 SORT statement's  |

no i have not tried it out i just wanted to know if that is possible or not...
ok as i cant give two sort statements in one sortcard , how can i carry out this opereation..wot i have is two files having same layouts with header and trailers ..I
have to first remove the header and trailer(that can be done using sort as the first letters of header and trailer will be PIM always).
Then i need to combine all the other records in both the files and make it into a common file.
can i do that?? |

Probably, but as long as you are satified with giving out hints as to what you need/want, it will be hard to say for sure....
A couple examples of both your input files and examples of (both?) your output files would be a nice beginning....
Lrecls & recfms? key locations? |

Yes, omit the PIMs and sort on the required field after concatinating the two inputs....... |

The output you show is NOT sorted that way. But to give you the idea, the DFSORT job you want would be something like this:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file1
// DD DSN=... input file2
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file
//SYSIN DD *
OMIT COND=(1,3,CH,EQ,C'PIM')
OPTION EQUALS
SORT FIELDS=(p,m,CH,A)
|
where p,m is the starting position and length of the field you want to sort on. |
