Hi All,

My requirement is to insert a string "<Page Break>" before each page header in report.Can we do this using ICETOOL?

I can not use rexx as my report has 200,000 lines and i do not want write a COBOL program for this.

Code:

Input:
-------
1JUL'09,       XXXXX Compnay     PAGE1

Name   Salary
-------  -------
AAAA   $200
BBBB   $100

1JUL'09,       XXXXX Compnay     PAGE2

Name   Salary
-------  -------
CCCC   $200
DDDD   $100

Output:
---------
<Page Break>
1JUL'09,       XXXXX Compnay     PAGE1

Name   Salary
-------  -------
AAAA   $200
BBBB   $100

<Page Break>
1JUL'09,       XXXXX Compnay     PAGE2

Name   Salary
-------  -------
CCCC   $200
DDDD   $100


Any help is much appreciated.

You can use a DFSORT/ICETOOL job like the following to do what you asked for. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80 and the page header record can be identified by 'PAGE' in positions 34-37. You can change the job appropriately if those assumptions are incorrect.

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG   DD  SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG    DD  SYSOUT=*
//IN DD DSN=...  input file (FB/80)
//OUT DD DSN=...  output file (FB/80)
//TOOLIN   DD    *
COPY FROM(IN) USING(CTL1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,
   IFTHEN=(WHEN=(34,4,CH,EQ,C'PAGE'),
     BUILD=(C'<Page Break>',/,1,80))
/*
