Hi,
I have to merge the contents of 3 files each having different LRECL in to a single file.
For ex:
File 1 - LRECL 53
File 2 - LRECL 20
File 3 - LRECL 21
Is it possible to do the above using SORT. |

To make the requirement more clear:
The requirement is combining three files(with different LRECL) to a single file rather than merging the contents.
File 1: LRECL 53
ABCD EFG IJKDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
AA KLID DDDDDFEEC DDFFFFFFFFFFF
File 2: LRECL 20
12333 DFD EE33
DFDFD 33345
File 3: LRECL 21
DFEWER DFDFEERDF
DFDFD 8897DD
Output File: Should look like this.
ABCD EFG IJKDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
AA KLID DDDDDFEEC DDFFFFFFFFFFF
12333 DFD EE33
DFDFD 33345
DFEWER DFDFEERDF
DFDFD 8897DD |

O/p file can have LRECL as the maximum of the three files LRECL.
In this case it is 53. |

Here's a DFSORT/ICETOOL job that will do what you asked for:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN1 DD DSN=... input file1 (FB/53)
//IN2 DD DSN=... input file2 (FB/20)
//IN3 DD DSN=... input file3 (FB/21)
//****> USE MOD FOR THE OUT DATA SET
//OUT DD DISP=MOD,DSN=... output file (FB/53)
//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(IN1) TO(OUT)
COPY FROM(IN2) TO(OUT) USING(CTL1)
COPY FROM(IN3) TO(OUT) USING(CTL1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
INREC OVERLAY=(53:X)
/*

Thanks Frank. Is it possible to do the same without using ICETOOL?
I am not sure ICETOOL is available in our system. |

| If you have DFSORT, then you have ICETOOL. ICETOOL has been part of DFSORT since 1991. |

| We have SYNCSORT not DFSORT. I think that is the reason we dont have ICETOOL. Anyway thanks for the confirmation. |

If you have Syncsort, why did you post in the DFSORT Forum which is for DFSORT questions?
I'm moving your post to the JCL Forum. |

With SyncSort, you should still be able to execute this. If for some reason you are not able to specify PGM=ICETOOL in your shop, try PGM=SYNCTOOL. If you encounter any problems, please post the error message so that we can assist you further. |
