Can any one tell me how to skip 'N' no of lines from the lines while coping from file1 to file2 using Syncsort.

JCL does just nothing except telling a program to do what you want !!!!!

For the rest, SORT can help

I want the Skip command which is used in SYSIN

SKIP = N (number of lines to skip)

you can use in SYSIN card as control statements?

not sure if you expect any thing more

the details on how to skip record when copying depends on the tool used for the task,
consult Your program documentation

I' m afraid that jcl alone will not skip anything

did somebody add syncsort to the topic??
thats why I posted my comment

my post can be deleted then, or somebody can tell my dumbness of not noticing,
but on the witness chair I might, under oath, tell that syncsort was not there whe I replied
