Hello,
You need to post more complete example data or explain what you have posted.
What is the relationship between file1 and file2?
What if there is a different number of records in the files?
What are the recfm and lrecl of the records? |

Hi Dick and Frank,
Thanks for responding to my query,
There is no relation between the File1 and File2 they two different input files which contains the date filed
The number of records or equal in the files
The Record format is fixed and
File1 LRECL=260 and
File2 LRECL=80 and the date field is at the position 252-260 in file1 and in File2 at 72-80
I want to overwrite the file1 date field with file2 date field the remaning data should be unchanged only the date field should be change.
Regards,
BRKS. |

SPLICE FROM(T1) TO(OUT) ON(261,9,ZD) WITH(252,8) USING(CTL3)
//CTL1CNTL DD *
OPTION COPY

| Code: |
| SPLICE FROM(T1) TO(OUT) ON(261,9,ZD) WITH(252,8) USING(CTL3) |
The SPLICE itself contains the ddname of the output dataset in TO(OUT) and that's the syntax too.
I tried with the code which i posted. It's working fine. |

You are looking at the wrong trick. I pointed you to the trick for joining record-by-record. You apparently looked at the trick for joining on a key. These are two different tricks. Please look at the one I indicated.
BRKS and Shankar,
BRKS is right about Shankar's job being in error. An OUTREC statement is NOT allowed with SPLICE. You must use an OUTFIL statement. The newer version of DFSORT's ICETOOL will flag an OUTREC statement used with SPLICE as in error. Older versions may appear to work using OUTREC, but there's no guarantee OUTREC will always work, whereas OUTFIL will. |
