Hi friends
10 GDGs are there,all are having some records.we need to find all the records which are starting wit Fst in the 1st position. for this we need to develope a jcl.
for eg.input - a.b.g001v001
-fst
-1
output-A dataset containing all the rows starting with the text “FST” from all the generations of the GDG .

Taking a look at the fine manual I found something like this. It took me about 60 seconds.
Code:

  SORT      FIELDS=COPY                         
  INCLUDE   COND=(pos,len,format,EQ,C'whatever')

Bandita Bahubalendra,

The following DFSORT JCL will give you the desired results.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN       
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*           
//SORTIN   DD DSN=your gdg base name,
//            DISP=SHR           
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=your output file with FST records,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY               
  INCLUDE COND=(1,3,CH,EQ,C'FST')
/*


If your input is a vb file then you use this. The first 4 bytes have the RDW

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN       
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*           
//SORTIN   DD DSN=your gdg base name,
//            DISP=SHR           
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=your output file with FST records,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY               
  INCLUDE COND=(5,3,CH,EQ,C'FST')
/*
