i have a input file(physical sequential) with records as mentioned below:

DR-APS
DOCTOR-XYZ
DOC-ABC
DOCT-BAC

I want to sort the above input file on the basis of a field mentioned after '-'
Please provide me the solution for this.

You can run 2 steps, the first to use the PARSE function to prepend the records with the data following the '-'

OPTION COPY
INREC PARSE=(%01=(ABSPOS=1,ENDBEFR=C'-',FIXLEN=80),
%02=(ENDBEFR=C' ',FIXLEN=3)),
BUILD=(%02,1,80)

In this, an 80byte record is increased to 83 bytes, the first 3 bytes are then use in SORT.

run the SORT

SORT FIELDS=(1,3,CH,A)
OUTREC BUILD=(4,80)

This sorts on the 3 prepended bytes and drops them from the output records.

I've assumed 80 byte FB records with 3 bytes following the '-', delimited by a blank. The controls can be adjusted for VB or for longer sort fields.

Garry.

Abhay,

Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for in one pass. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80 and your key is 3 bytes, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes and key lengths.

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT                                   
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*                             
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (FB/80)                                       
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=...  output file (FB.80)                               
//SYSIN    DD    *                                   
  INREC PARSE=(%01=(STARTAFT=C'-',FIXLEN=3)),       
    OVERLAY=(81:%01)                                 
  SORT FIELDS=(81,3,CH,A)                           
  OUTREC BUILD=(1,80)                               
/*


For your input example, SORTOUT will have:

Code:

DOC-ABC     
DR-APS     
DOCT-BAC   
DOCTOR-XYZ

Hi Frank,

I tried the code mentioned by you but it is giving abend U0016.
Below is the code i have used:

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=TCS.Y00057.TESTFIL,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=TCS.Y00057.SORT101,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,10))
//SYSIN DD *
INREC PARSE=(%01=(STARTAFT=C'-',FIXLEN=3)),
OVERLAY=(81:%01)
SORT FIELDS=(81,3,CH,A)
OUTREC BUILD=(1,80)
/*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

The message i am getting in spool in sysout is:

PRODUCT LICENSED FOR CPU SERIAL NUMBER 7C6FE, MODEL 2096 O02
SYSIN :
INREC PARSE=(%01=(STARTAFT=C'-',FIXLEN=3)),

SORT FIELDS=(81,3,CH,A)
OUTREC BUILD=(1,80)

abhay,

You are using SYNCSORT and not DFSORT. You cannot use PARSE with SYNCSORT.

You will not be able to use PARSE with SYncsort as this is not yet made available. Check this link.

You will not be able to use DFSORT unless it is installed in your site.

You can try creating the SYSIN card dynamically to avoid manual work.

You have coded the SYSIN statements from column 1. Code as shown below.

Code:
//SYSIN DD *

Hello,

If your system is currently licensed for Syncsort, i believe a better solution would be to install the current release of the product. . .

The best possible thing is to get the latest version of the product installed in your site. Get in touch with the concerned for the same.

Please note that people have given 2 different sort cards(solns) for your reqt, One using SYNCSORT and other using DFSORT.

Hello abhay,

You could always write program code to accomplish what you want. . .

You might also talk with the system support people to see if there is some other utility available on your system that would provide the functionality you want.

I still believe that your environment would be better served by installing the current release of your sort product.

Can you provide me solution according to version 1.2.0

Please check with the following code for your requirement.
Code:
//S EXEC PGM=SORT                                           
//SORTIN DD *

DOCTOR-XYZ                                                 
DOC-ABC                                                     
DOCT-BAC

 OUTFIL FNAMES=O7,INCLUDE=(7,1,CH,EQ,C'-'),OUTREC=(1,80,8,3) 
/*                                                           
// EXEC PGM=SORT

This should work perfectly with that version icon_biggrin.gif . But what if "-" is present somewhere between column 8 till 80 (assuming the LRECL to be 80) as you have taken into consideration only the first 7 bytes. Guess you will have to add few more DD steps.

abhay,

What is the LRECL?

As sorting is happening on field with length 3, the possibility of string "-" should be present somewhere between column 1 and 77 and not in column 78, 79 and 80. Please correct me if i am wrong.

That's true for your point.
