COUNT of copied records using SYNCSORT

Hi,

I am copying INPUT to OUTPUT using some rules.

I would like to how many records are copied to OUTPUT. In other words, i would like to how many records are there in OUPUT.

Can i do this using SYNCSORT?

Here a sample JCL

//SORT EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD *
1234
1234
2345
/*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTOF01 DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,4,CH,A)
INCLUDE COND=(1,1,CH,EQ,C'1')
OUTFIL FILES=01,OUTREC=(1,80),REMOVECC,
TRAILER1=(1:C'TRR',COUNT=(M10,LENGTH=9))
/*

In SORTOF01 you get the output as
1234
1234
TRR 2

You may change the trailer as per your need.

Hello,

Even without the trailer, i believe the count of records processed will be in a jes output.

TRAILER1=(1:C'TRR',COUNT=(M10,LENGTH=9))

COUNT --> Gives the count of records in the dataset

M10 --> Mask (how the count should be displayed e.g. with or without signs, supressing leading zeroes etc.)

M10 --> IIIIIIIIIIIIIIT --> if there are 2 records--> Count is displayed as bbbbbbbb2

For other masks refer manual (M0 - M25)

Length --> length of count (here 9 digits)
