Hi,

Could you please help me in this

I have an input file with LRECL=60. I need to create an output file with a header and reformat the file like mentioned below. Can I do this with the Help of JCL SORT.

Input file:-
Code:
***************************** Top of Data ******************
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6
ARL2008031BHHL     110110140146511                         
ARL2008031BHHL     510110140490785                         
ARL2008032PHHL     110110142209491                         


And it should be reformatted like below

Output file:-
Code:
System;Date;    Monat;GV1;GV2;GV3;GEBO;GV-ABC
GRL;     200803;1;       1;    104; 104; 4;      12435,45


Here the first line will be header. Below that all records should come. for GV-ABC the decimal point should separated with coma.

Thanks in Advance.

Not really clear, could you explain this 'reformatting'?

Probably, I think, but without more clarity, I can't say for sure....

In my above post the output file format alignment is not correct. My requirement is I need to create a an output file with LRECL = 60 with below format. Here the first Line will be header. and after that all the records should come.

Code:
System; Date;    Monat; GV1; GV2; GV3; GEBO; GV-ABC
ARL;    200803;  1;     1;   104; 104; 4;    12435,45

Hi Nair,

Not at all clear with your example
Input :-

ARL2008031BHHL 110110140146511

Do u need output as :-

System; Date; Monat; GV1; GV2; GV3; GEBO; GV-ABC
ARL; 200803;1; 1; 101; 101; 4; 01465,11

But I couldn't see any decimal point should I take it for granted that
for GV-ABC u need comma before last 2 numbers....

jsnair,

Yes, you can do this with DFSORT. But you need to tell me exactly what you want to do before I can show you how.

Give the starting position and length of each field in your input record (System, Date, Monat, GV1, etc) that you want in your output record. For example:

System - starts in 1, length is 3
Date - starts in 4, length is 8
...

Give the starting position of each string in your header. For example:

'System;' starts in 1.
...

Give the starting position and length of each field in your output record.

System - starts in 1, length is 3
...

Show the output records that correspond to the input records in your example (all of the input records). Use code tags and the preview function to get the alignment correct.

Here I am trying to give you more info...

Code:
=COLS> ----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6
 000001 ARL2008031BHHL     110110140146511                         
 000002 ARL2008031BHHL     510110140490785                         


The above will be my Input record. It's LRECL=60. Below please find the length and

starting positions.

Length of 1st field = 3, starting position = 1
Length of 2nd field = 6, starting position = 4
Length of 3rd field = 1, starting position = 10
Length of 4th field = 1, starting position = 11
Length of 5th field = 3, starting position = 12
After 5th field starting position = 15 there will be spaces length 5
Length of 6th field = 1, starting position = 20
Length of 7th field = 3, starting position = 21
Length of 8th field = 3, starting position = 24
Length of 9th field = 1, starting position = 27
Length of 10th field = 7, starting position = 28


My output file should be also LRECL=60 with below format.

(a) Should contain a HEADER with below format.

SYSTEM; DATE; MONAT; BEK-POT; GV1; GV2; GV3; GEVO; GV-BWR

SYSTEM - length 6 stats in position 1.
DATE - length 4 stats in position 8.
MONAT - length 5 stats in position 15.
BEK-POT - length 7 stats in position 21.
MANDANT - length 7 stats in position 29.
GV1 - length 3 stats in position 37.
GV2 - length 3 stats in position 41.
GV3 - length 3 stats in position 45.
GEVO - length 4 stats in position 49.
GV-BWR - length 6 stats in position 55.




And my final output will be like below. And each field should be separated with a semi

colon like below.

Code:
 =COLS> ----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6
 000007 SYSTEM;DATE;  MONAT;BEK-POT;MANDANT;GV1;GV2;GV3;GEVO; GV-BWR
 '''''' GRL;   200803;1;    B;      HHL;    1;  101;101;  4; 1465,11


Here the value for GV-BWR will have decimat points so the last 2 charecters should

separated with comma.

Hope this will give you some idea. If you want more info please let me know.

Here's a DFSORT job that will do what I think you asked for.

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (FB/60)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file (FB/60)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  OUTFIL REMOVECC,
    HEADER1=('SYSTEM;DATE;  MONAT;BEK-POT;MANDANT;',
     'GV1;GV2;GV3;GEVO; GV-BWR'),
    BUILD=(1,3,C';',8:4,6,C';',15:10,1,C';',21:11,1,C';',
      29:12,3,C';',37:20,1,C';',41:21,3,C';',45:24,3,C';',
      51:27,1,C';',54:28,7,ZD,EDIT=(IIIT,TT))
/*


For the two input records in your example, SORTOUT will have:

Code:

SYSTEM;DATE;  MONAT;BEK-POT;MANDANT;GV1;GV2;GV3;GEVO; GV-BWR
ARL;   200803;1;    B;      HHL;    1;  101;101;  4; 1465,11
ARL;   200803;1;    B;      HHL;    5;  101;101;  4; 4907,85


I'm assuming that when you showed GRL in the output record, you really meant to show ARL since that's what appeared in the input record.

Hi Frank,

Thanks very much for your help. It is working fine. I need one more help.

I have 2 input files with LRECL = 60. I need to merge these 2 in to a new one with LRECL = 67. Please look in to the below sample files.


FILE-1:-

Code:
=COLS> ----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6
000001 AB100722901  ARL2008031BHHL     51011014                  l%
000002 AB103236801  ARL2008031BHHL     51011014                  í
000003 AB319116801  ARL2008031BHHL     51011014                  Î

FILE-2:-

Code:
=COLS> ----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6
000001 AB100722901  ARL2008032PHHL     51011014                  p
000002 AB100809801  ARL2008032PHHL     11011014                 ë @
000003 AB100826901  ARL2008032PHHL     11011014                 ãkæ


output file-

Code:
=COLS> ----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+--
000001 AB100722901  ARL2008031BHHL     51011014                  l%0146511
000002 AB100809801  ARL2008032PHHL     11011014                 ë @0490785
000003 AB100826901  ARL2008032PHHL     11011014                 ãkæ2209491




Steps to follow while merging-
1. The key fields in input files will start from position 1 and it's length is 13.
2. If this key fields are duplicating in File-2 we need to take corresponding record from File-1.
3. We need to add one extra field in the output file for the testing purpose. In input files the last fields will be packed decimal fields.It's starting position will be 54 and length 7.
4. So while merging we need to conver packed decimal to a ZD field in readable form. So we are adding the new fileld at the end with starting position 61 and length 7.

jsnair,

Concatenate both files together and make sure that file from which you want to pick the record is first in the concatenation list. Any matching key from the 2 files is a dup and we only pick the firstdup and convert the 7 byte pd filed to readable form


Code:

 //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                                   
 //TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*                                         
 //DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*                                         
 //IN       DD DSN=your file1,DISP=SHR
 //         DD DSN=your file2,DISP=SHR
 //OUT      DD SYSOUT=*                                         
 //TOOLIN   DD *                                               
   SELECT FROM(IN) ON(1,6,CH) TO(OUT) FIRSTDUP USING(CTL1)     
 //CTL1CNTL DD *                                               
   OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,BUILD=(1,60,54,7,PD,M11,LENGTH=7)         
/*


Hope this helps....

Cheers

Hi Skolusu,

Thanks for your help. Also I need to clarify one more thing. In my output I need to get the Packed decimal value also. So my LRECL for input files are 60 and for output file the LRECL will be 67.

Code:
=COLS> ----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+--
000001 AB100722901  ARL2008031BHHL     51011014                  l%0146511
000002 AB100809801  ARL2008032PHHL     11011014                 ë @0490785
000003 AB100826901  ARL2008032PHHL     11011014                 ãkæ2209491

Please find the sample output file above. Here we can find both packed decimal field(starting position 54 and lenth 7)also from 61 to 67 the readable new fields. Hope this is clear.

Even I tired with your JCL and I was hitting some errors. Below I tried with PGM=SORT/ICEMAN. The errror which I am getting is below.

Code:
********************************* TOP OF DATA **
ICE063A 1 OPEN ERROR SYSIN                     
ICE751I 0 C5-K90007 E7-K11698                   
ICE052I 3 END OF DFSORT                         
******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA


When I tried with PGM=ICETOOL It was abending with MAXCC=20. As per your suggestion I had given 2 inputs in correct order and the output file. Also please keep in mind that I need to add one extra field in output file for showing readable form.


Code:
//SRT1    EXEC PGM=SORT


//TOOLIN   DD *                                           
   SELECT FROM(IN) ON(1,6,CH) TO(OUT) FIRSTDUP USING(CTL1)
//CTL1CNTL DD *                                           
   OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,BUILD=(1,60,54,7,PD,M11,LENGTH=7)     
/*                                                         
//

The Job I have shown gives you what you asked for

If you had the run the job as is with just changing your input dataset names you will NOT get any errors. I specifically showed ICETOOL example and if you run a sort program it will NOT work.

Just copy the JOB I have given and just change the file names thats all you need

Kolusu's job had PGM=ICETOOL. You can't just change that to PGM=ICEMAN and expect it to work. PGM=ICETOOL invokes DFSORT's ICETOOL. PGM=ICEMAN invokes DFSORT. They are two different programs with different JCL statements. They are NOT interchangeable.

That means you were missing the //TOOLMSG DD statement. If you look at Kolusu's job, you'll see he has that DD statement.

Hi Skolusu and Frank,

Thanks for your support. Now it is working fine. Earlier I was mising //TOOLMSG DD statement.

Now I am facing with a small problem with the desired output. May be my explanation above was not clear enough. After running this job i am getting only duplicated recodrs from the FILE1.

But my actual requirement is if there is any duplicates we need to take those from FILE1. Also we need to get all the remaining records from FILE1 and FILE2.

For Eg:-

FILE1

Code:
****** ***************************** Top of Data ********************
000001 AL100722922  ARL2008031BHHL     51011014                  l% 
000002 AL132236801  ARL2008031BHHL     51011014                  í   
000003 AL319116801  ARL2008031BHHL     51011014                  Π  
000004 AL339053115  ARL2008031BHHL     11011014                     
000005 AL339053129  ARL2008031BHHL     11011014                     



FILE2

Code:
****** ***************************** Top of Data *******************
000001 AL100722922  ARL2008032PHHL    51011014                  p 
000002 AL100809801  ARL2008032PHHL    11011014                 ë @
000003 AL100826901  ARL2008032PHHL    11011014                 ãkæ
000004 AL100826902  ARL2008032PHHL    11011014                   *
000005 AL100852901  ARL2008032PHHL    11011014                 ñ %



Output-

Code:
****** ***************************** Top of Data ********************
000001 AL100722922  ARL2008031BHHL    51011014                  l% 
000002 AL132236801  ARL2008031BHHL    51011014                  í   
000003 AL319116801  ARL2008031BHHL    51011014                  Π  
000004 AL339053115  ARL2008031BHHL    11011014                     
000005 AL339053129  ARL2008031BHHL    11011014                     
000006 AL100809801  ARL2008032PHHL    11011014                 ë @
000007 AL100826901  ARL2008032PHHL    11011014                 ãkæ
000008 AL100826902  ARL2008032PHHL    11011014                   *
000009 AL100852901  ARL2008032PHHL    11011014                 ñ %

So total 9 records should be there in the output. The key will start at postion 1 and it's length will be 13.

Sorry for the confusion I made.

jsnair,

Assuming that both files do not have duplicate keys the following DFSORT/ICETOOL JCL will give you the desired results. Concatenate both files together and make sure that file from which you want to pick the record is first in the concatenation list.
Code:


 //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                                   
 //TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*                                         
 //DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*                                         
 //IN       DD DSN=your file1,DISP=SHR
 //         DD DSN=your file2,DISP=SHR
 //OUT      DD SYSOUT=*                                         
 //TOOLIN   DD *                                               
   SELECT FROM(IN) ON(1,6,CH) TO(OUT) FIRSTDUP USING(CTL1)     
 //CTL1CNTL DD *                                               
   OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,BUILD=(1,60,54,7,PD,M11,LENGTH=7)         
/*


Hope this helps....

Cheers

Hi Skolusu,

This is same JCL as you have posted earlier. I my case there may have Duplicate keys so we need to consider that also. As I had explaied earlier. From my above explanation we van see this here FILE1 contain record with key AL100722922. The same we can see in FILE2. So we need to take this record from FILE1 not from FILE2. In FILE1 there are 5 records and in FILE2 also 5 records. Because there is one duplicate record (AL100722922) we are taking it only from the FILE1. So in output file we should get 9 records. Hope now it is clear.

jsnair,

oops I guess I pasted the wrong control cards. Change your toolin statement to the following and re-run your job

Quote:

//TOOLIN DD *
SELECT FROM(IN) ON(1,6,CH) TO(OUT) FIRST USING(CTL1)
