Hello All...

I some-what understand the power of sum fields. but for some reason I can not get it to do it with decimal amounts.

I have a file with dup records the amount I'd like to combine is ( 100.00 ) or (55.23). the file will come with the decimals. I did a test and removed the decimals and it worked fine....

How can it get it to work with the decimals?

SUM does not support any formats with a decimal point directly. But DFSORT does support the SFF (signed free form) and UFF (unsigned free form) formats that can extract the digits from a value with a decimal point (and do lots more). The SFF and UFF formats can be used directly in the TOT operand of TRAILERx which is another way to "sum" values, or it can be used to convert a value with a decimal point to a ZD or PD value which can be used with SUM, and then converted back.

For a discussion of the latter technique, see the "Sum a number with a decimal point" Smart DFSORT Trick at:

Use [URL] BBCode for External Links

If you want help using TRAILERx with TOT to deal with the values directly, show an example of the input records and what you want for output (relevant fields only), give the RECFM and LRECL of the input files, and give the starting position and length of the relevant fields.

SORT FIELDS=(01,9,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=(139,8, )


the SSN is in positions 01 - 09. the amount starts at position 139. total size of the amount field is 8-bytes. ( including dec 99999.99)

record length is 155. format FB

Well, since you didn't show me an example of input and output like I asked, I don't know if your values have leading zeros or not, so I'll assume they do (e.g. 00001.01). If not you can change the edit mask in the DFSORT job below to give you what you need.

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN                                 
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*                                 
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (FB)                     
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file (FB)                                   
//SYSIN    DD    *                                       
  INREC OVERLAY=(139:139,8,UFF,TO=ZD,LENGTH=8)           
  SORT FIELDS=(01,9,CH,A)                               
  SUM FIELDS=(139,8,ZD)                                 
  OUTREC OVERLAY=(139:139,8,ZD,EDIT=(TTTTT.TT))

105.06

If you want leading zeros suppressed as shown, then all you have to do is change the edit mask from TTTTT.TT to IIIIT.TT:

Code:

  ...
  OUTREC OVERLAY=(139:139,8,ZD,EDIT=(IIIIT.TT))
