EZT Working Storage Variable as the key for Matching Logic

Hi,

I want to use matching logic with one of the keys as a working storage variable. Let me try to explain it with an example.

FILE A
fielda1

FILE B
fieldb1
fieldb2

For the first file i want to make use of one working storage variable
w-fielda1 as one of the keys(the other key is fielda1, fieldb1) in the job input statement for matching logic.

ie, the key should be fielda1, w-fielda2 -> for FILE A
fieldb2, fieldb2 -> for FILE B

Could you please tell me if this is possible in easytrieve.

Thanks!

Have you looked into 'Synchronized File Processing' in the EZT manual?

Yes, I saw that and i am using the same Matching logic. My concern is if we can use a working storage variable as the key for this matching since my first file does not have that field.

Hello,

I do not believe you will be able to use "synchronized file processing" directly for your requirement.

A more traditional, coded match/merge may be what you need.
