I have two parm cards
Parm card 1 - *
*
97 - 3rd record
Parm card 2 - DEMAND,JOB=AAAAAAAA,SCHID=99
/LOGOFF
I have to keep '97' from the Parm card 1 to the postion of '99' in the Parm card 2.
Output of Parm card 2 should be
DEMAND,JOB=AAAAAAAA,SCHID=97
/LOGOFF
Thanks

Hello Venkat and welcome to the forums,
Is this a sort question?
Please post some(?) of your actual input records and the output you want from the posted input.
Please also include the recfm and lrecl of the file(s).
A more clear definition of your requirement will also work in your favor. |

Thanks for quick response.
I do not say it is a sort question. How can we go without program?
Parm card 1 - it is a member of dataset, the value on 11th row varies based on special case. I need to take this value '97' from 11th row of the Parm card 1 and keep in Parm card 2
0004 * SCHID VALUE SPECIAL CASE
0005 * ----------- ------------
0006 * 97
0007 *
0008 * 98
0009 *
0010 *---+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----
0011 97
Parm card 2 -
000001 DEMAND,JOB=XXXXXXXX,SCHID=99
000002 /LOGOFF
Please note Parm card 1 and 2 are members of PDS. I should update the Parm card 2 as
000001 DEMAND,JOB=XXXXXXXX,SCHID=97
000002 /LOGOFF
Can we input Parm card 1 and 2 to some utility and update Parm card2?
Thanks

Posting the question in DFSORT/ICETOOL implies a sort question.

Even without a program, there will still have to be jcl and documentation and probably the process "promoted" to production.
How often will this process be done? Will parm card 1 and parm card 2 always have the same number of lines? Will there ever be more than one value to (i.e. 97) work with? Will the values always be in the same positions in the line?
As we learn more about what your requirement really is, we may have more questions. |

This process is done for every quater.
Yes, Parm card 1 and 2 have same number of lines always. In the parm card 1 can have two values either 97 or 98 in the same position (11th row, column 1 and 2). The value in the parm card 1 would be entered by the user for every quarter.
Whenver the use enters the value(97 or 98) that value should be reflected on parm card 2
000001 DEMAND,JOB=XXXXXXXX,SCHID=97
000002 /LOGOFF
Thanks

Venkat,
You can use a DFSORT job like the following to do what you asked for. I assumed the value in parm card 1 you want is in positions 1-2 of the 11th record. I assumed the value you want to replace in parm card 2 is in positions 27-28 of the record with 'SCHID=' starting in position 21. You can change the job as needed.
Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=userid.pds(m1),DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=&&S1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),DISP=(,PASS)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY,SKIPREC=10
OUTREC BUILD=(C'TARG,''',1,2,C'''',80:X)
/*
//S2 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&S1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTIN DD DSN=userid.pds(m2),DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=userid.pds(m3),DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(21,6,CH,EQ,C'=SCHID'),OVERLAY=(27:TARG))
/*

Hi Frank,
It worked out. Thanks a lot!!
I have one question in the first step
OUTREC BUILD=(C'TARG,''',1,2,C'''',80:X).
Can you please explain me the each parameter in the above syntax?
Thanks

Code: |
OUTREC BUILD=(C'TARG,''',1,2,C'''',80:X).
|
This OUTREC statement builds an 80-byte DFSORT Symbol record of the form:
TARG,'xx'
C'TARG,''' - builds a constant of TARG, and a starting apostrophe -> TARG,' -> Note that we need '' to get ' inside the character constant.
1,2 - copies the characters from input positions 1-2 (e.g. 97)
C'''' - builds the ending apostrophe
80:X - pads with blanks from after the ending apostrophe up to and including position 80 (gives us an 80-byte record).
If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
