Hi all,
I have a requirement to copy X number of records from one file to another file. This X is defined in one PARM file.
Do we have any options in SORT to read this PARM file and copy X number of records to another file thru a single SORT step? |

Hi,
There may be efficient solutions than this but here is the one which will help you.
| Code: |
//STEP050 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN DD *
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
/*
//PARMFILE DD *
05
/*
//TMP1CNTL DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(MOD,PASS),SPACE=(CYL,(1,10),RLSE)
//OUT DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(PARMFILE) TO(TMP1CNTL) USING(CTL1)
COPY FROM(IN) TO(OUT) USING(TMP1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=TMP1CNTL,NODETAIL,REMOVECC,
HEADER1=(3:'SORT FIELDS=COPY',/,
3:'OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,ENDREC=',1,2)

| You could also consider the use of IDCAMS REPRO to do this. |

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply. I can not define the X value in JCL or in PARM Member.
This value is not constant, we may need to change it on requirement basis. We have to read this value from a SEQ file and copy these many number of records from input file to output file. |

gorman,
You can pass symbolics to SORT like shown below. Define a symbolic named pickrec and you can override it in jcl with the number of records you want
| Code: |
//MYPROC PROC PICKREC='10'
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN,PARM='STOPAFT=&PICKREC'
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=some dataset,
// DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DSN=sort.control.card dataset,
// DISP=SHR
//*
// PEND
//STEP0100 EXEC MYPROC,PICKREC='50'

Yes, there are more efficient solutions. Why do you think posting an overly complex and inefficient solution is a way to help someone? You're not really helping people by continually doing that. You're just misleading them.
If the OP can use a symbol instead of a parmfile, then Kolusu's use of a symbolic for STOPAFT is best. And if the OP needs to use a parmfile, this DFSORT/ICETOOL job is better than your solution. STOPAFT is more efficient than ENDREC.
I assumed the parmfile has a 2-digit value for the number of records (e.g. 05), but the job can be changed appropriately for more digits).
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//PARMFILE DD DSN=... seq file with nn for number of records
//IN DD *
RECORD 01
RECORD 02
RECORD 03
RECORD 04
RECORD 05
RECORD 06
RECORD 07
RECORD 08
/*
//CTL2CNTL DD DSN=&&C1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),DISP=(,PASS)
//OUT DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(PARMFILE) TO(CTL2CNTL) USING(CTL1)
COPY FROM(IN) TO(OUT) USING(CTL2)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
OUTREC BUILD=(C' OPTION STOPAFT=',1,2,80:X)
