Hi all,
My input file has records
Code:

Record-No Record-Id Record-Type
1               A             10
1               A             20
1               A             10
1               A             20
2               A             10
2               A             10
2               A             20
2               A             20
3               A             10
3               A             20
3               A             10
3               A             20
.
.
.


     


I want to swap the records for Record-No 2 and Record-Id=A,
so that Record-Type 20 should come after 10 , as shown for other Record-No

Code:

Record-No Record-Id Record-Type
1               A             10
1               A             20
1               A             10
1               A             20
2               A             10
2               A             20
2               A             10
2               A             20
3               A             10
3               A             20
3               A             10
3               A             20

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do. But if you just want to change the 2/A records to have 10, 20, 10, 20, ..., you can use a DFSORT job like this. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes.

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (FB/80)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (FB/80)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC IFOUTLEN=80,
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,1,CH,EQ,C'2',AND,17,1,CH,EQ,C'A'),
      OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,1,ZD,START=0,INCR=5,
        31:81,1,CHANGE=(2,C'0',C'10',C'5',C'20')))
