Hi all,
As i am new to Eztrieve, plz help in understanding the logic behind the Synchronized File Processing ( I mean key Matching Logic in Eztrieve.
JOB INPUT ( SYS001 KEY ( WW-SYS001-POLICY ) SYS002 KEY ( AR-POLICY ))
My Doubt is when i use the above Matching verb, when their is Match between SYS001 and SYS002, will the records incermented in both the files (SYS001 and SYS002) or only in SYS001 and this record from SYS001 is compared from 1st record SYS002.
If Confused i will give you my file details
SYS001
Policy - Column in SYS001
1
2
3
4
SYS002
Policy - Column in SYS002
1
2
2
3
4
Now when the Record of SYS001 (Policy 1) is Matched to SYS002 (Policy 1), Will the next Record comparision will be as
Policy 2 of SYS001 is compared with Policy 1 of SYS002
or
Policy 2 of SYS001 is compared with Policy 2 of SYS002
Thx for Help
Cheers

Hi,
Did you any time Read the Ezytrieve Manuals? , they won't explain the Logic much clearly.
And i don't know you but a small suggestion don't assume that people who post here doesn't do their intial research.
I know Ezytrieve little bit as my whole of my experience was in cobol. So i thought i could get help from here.
Cheers

I would think that "Policy 2 of SYS001 is compared with Policy 2 of SYS002" and "IF FIRST-DUP SYS002" would be TRUE....
Why don't you set up a quick test with displays and confirm the conditions for yourself? |

Ashwin,
I was NOT assuming that you did not do your initial research. My question was "Do you have access to the manual". Some members on this forum use eztrieve but do not have ANY manuals.
I do use the manual and believe the REFERENCE manual explains the process well (see chapter 11). My initial question was to point you in the right direction.
My remarks was not intended as an offense.
Cheers

Hi all,
Thanks for the Suggestions, Tried all the combinations but finally decided to go with Cobol.
lcmontanez,
Nothing Personal, i just want to say that some people will do their initail research.
Thanks for the Suggestions, i have looked at the Manuals tab in this forum but couldn't find any so i did google and found some manuals.
Sorry for mis-understanding.
Cheers

| I am sorry you had to go back to COBOL for this. I find file matching in Easytrieve very good. The order of the files in the job statement does make a difference. In this case the records returned to the program would be (1 matched with 1, 2 matched with 2, 2 matched with 2 again, 3 matched with 3, and 4 matched with 4). Internally 1 must have been matched with 2, but this combination would not be returned to the program. Please try file matching in Easytrieve, if not now, sometime when you have time to try things out. I too am primarily a COBOL programmer, and we do get more control in COBOL, but I find file matching like this in Easytrieve very quick and easy. When given a choice I usually choose to do this in Easytrieve rather than COBOL. |

You should at least be aware that the manuals are not available here because the material is covered by copyright. We may neither post them not link to them from our forum.
If your organization is licensed to use the product, the material is free from CA support. If you are not licensed, the product should not be used.
If someone posts/downloads the actual CA copyrighted documentation, they are simply stealing from CA - not something i would recommend. |

Hi Douglas,
Yes i too Agree that Easytrieve is much simpler than cobol. As our Client request was so stupid that the left side file (SYS001) will have duplicates and right side(SYS002) won't. So i read in some manual that it should be reverse for using Matching logic. So i want to make it clear for any future use when i find time rather than overnight delivery.
Thanks for the Useful Information.
Hi Dick,
Sorry I fogot that the CA-Products manuls should be Licensed.
Cheers
