I have a file of length 668.
I want to copy this file into another file appending each record with a date field.
What should be the syntax for the OUTREC FIELDS.
I am using
SORT FIELDS=COPY,
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:668,1,'2008-08-18',669)
and its not working.
Please help. Thank you. |

Hello,
Which sort product is used on your system?
If you are not sure, the product name is shown on the informational output created when a sort is executed. |

Wow, that's a lot of errors for so few parameters. It's difficult to figure out what you're trying to do given what you've coded. You can't just make up your own syntax and expect it to work.
If you want to append that hardcoded date after the end of each 668 record, you can use these DFSORT statements:
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC OVERLAY=(669:C'2008-08-18')
|
If you want to do something else, explain exactly what it is you're trying to do.
If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:

Shubh,
You can try this,
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,668,669:C'2008-08-18')
The output dataset should have LRECL=678
Regards,
