Hi,
I want to get the number of records from one file and move that value into a field in another file (with a different layout).
Will it be possible to do it thru JCL?
Thanks - Raghav |

Yes, it is possible. Search the DFSORT forum for "COUNT". |

Thans Aaru.
I could see COUNT options which just writes out a file with just record count in that.
But I have to not just take the record count, but populate that into another file (which has a different layout) with data.
Can you help?
Thanks - Raghav |

| You mean to copy the data as well as the record count |

hi..
I dont need to copy the records from the file. I just need to get the record count.
That record count has to go into another file with a different layout and data.
Thanks - Raghav |

You can create a DFSORT Symbol with the count of records and use the Symbol for a field in another file. Here's an example:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file1
//SORTOUT DD DSN=&&S1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),DISP=(,PASS)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
* Create a DFSORT symbol as follows:
* CT,'dddddddd'
* where dddddddd is the count of records in the input file.
OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
BUILD=(80X),
TRAILER1=('CT,''',COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=8),'''')
/*
//S2 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&S1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file2
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
* Use the CT symbol for the count.
INREC OVERLAY=(11:CT)
/*
