I want to combine the data of file1 which is a FB and data of file2 which is VB into a file FILE3 which is VB similar to FILE2.

Code:

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SYNCSORT
//SORTIN    DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=SHR
//               DD DSN=FILE2,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=FILE3,DISP=OLD         
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                             
//SYSIN      DD *                                   
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                 
//*

Hello,

You need to post the entire diagnostic output.

You will probably need to copy the fb data to vb and then combine the vb files.

I donno if it is possible with syncsort..

You need to add a step to copy FB file(file1) into a temporary VB file using IEBGENER.

Code:

//STEP1     EXEC PGM=IEBGENER                       
//SYSIN     DD DUMMY                               
//SYSUT1   DD DSN=TEST.INPUT.FB.FILE1,         
//              DISP=SHR                               
//SYSUT2   DD DSN=TEST.OUTPUT.VB.TEMP,         
//              DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),               
//              SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE),               
//              DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=84,BLKSIZE=6720)   
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*


In second step you can use sort to combine the two files (tempfile and FILE2) into FILE3 [/code]

Both files need to be of the same format, either FB or VB.

Use SORT to convert the FB into VB, and then merge the files.
