Hi,
Yes You can do it using SORT (as post is in SORT forum). But You need to define rules how do You want the output to look like. Show some example records of input & output with additional informatoin about their RECFM & LRECL to get better replies. |

Well folks the actual requirement is that we have a master file of a specific lrecl and other datasets of the same lrecl and the master file is absolutely blank.
Correspondingly it is to be copied into many other datasets so as to delete their records too.
But the catch lies in the fact that the master file needs to be copied into the many other datasets using a single job. |

Is this another 'silly' requirement?

| Why would a MASTER FILE have thousands of copies? That doesn't sound like master file! |

Depending on your criteria and requirement, write your own COPY steps using ICETOOL copy statement or use IDCAMS REPRO. |

You could use one or more DFSORT jobs like the following. Of course, there are system and DFSORT limitations, so I don't know how many output files you can actually use in one job.
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file
//O0001 DD DSN=... output file1
//O0002 DD DSN=... output file2
...
//Onnnn DD DSN=... output filennnn
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=(O0001,
O0002,
...
Onnnn)

Hello,
I'm sure there is a need to create multiple thousand empty "master file" copies, but i cannot think of why this would be the chosen alternative.
If we understood the process(es) to be supported by this, we mikght be able to offer some alternatives. |
