Please be more specific when you use the term "Merge". Are both files pre-sorted based on the same sort key? Do they need to be sorted? Or do you just want them both copied into a 3rd file? |

Hi,
Me again.. assuming the input files have RECFM=FB, you have to pad the shorter one to the length of the longer one before you can merge them. If you need more specific help on this, tell me the RECFM and LRECL of each input file, and whether you actually want to merge the files or just copy them.
To merge the input files, they must already be in sorted order and the output records will be in sorted order.
Copying the files means the output file will have all of the records of the first input file followed by all of the records of the second input file. |
