Hi,
I need to sort an input file that has a list of program names and while writing the output, I need to put these program names within brackets. The problem is some program names are 7 characters in lenght and some are 8 characters in lenght, so while trying to put brackets, for the 7 character program, I am getting a SPACE before closing the bracket.
Could some body advise as how to solve this using SYNCSORT and DFSORT? . I am trying to use ALTSEQ but its not working properly. |

Here is a DFSORT job which would give you the desired results. This job will take care of spaces
| Code: |
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
A
BB
CCC
DDDD
EEEEE
FFFFFF
GGGGGGG
HHHHHHHH
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
BUILD=(1,80,JFY=(LEAD=C'(',SHIFT=LEFT,TRAIL=C')')))
//*
|
and the output is
| Code: |
(A)
(BB)
(CCC)
(DDDD)
(EEEEE)
(FFFFFF)
(GGGGGGG)
(HHHHHHHH)
|
Hope this helps... |

Hi,
Yes sorry I forgot to tell...I can use SYNCSORT only not DFSORT so is there any way I can do this with SYNCSORT.
Thanks,
Sridhar |

Sridhar,
Kolusu's job works fine with DFSORT which has supported the JFY function since April, 2006. Syncsort does NOT support the JFY function. |

Frank,
Thanks for the response but I am not sure if my company has DFSORT or not...Could you please let me know if there is a way to handle this with SYNCSORT.
Thanks,
Sridhar |

Kolusu and I are DFSORT developers. DFSORT and Syncsort are competitive products. We're happy to answer questions on DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, but we don't answer questions on Syncsort. |
