Hi,
I have requriement to copy a fileA
1. to fileB as it is (unsorted, say like dumping)
2. to fileC sorting on the key.
This is the code I tried. This is copying the files in two files.
1. OK
2. The file is not sorted. Is there any wrong in the below code.

Code:

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG  DD SYSOUT=*
//INA1 DD DSN=A.B.C, DISP=SHR
//INA2 DD DSN=A.B.1, DISP=NEW
//INA3 DD DSN=A.B.2,DISP=NEW
//OUT DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLIN DD *
  COPY FROM(IN1) USING(CTL1)
  COPY FROM(IN1) USING(CTL2)
/*
//CTL1CTL DD *
 SORT FIELDS=(3,44,CH,A)
 OUTFIL FNAMES=IN3
/*
//CTL2CTL DD *
 SORT FIELDS=COPY
 OUTFIL FNAMES=IN2
/*

The DD names in your ICETOOL statements do not match those in your JCL

Then no need of using CTL
Why not just
COPY FROM(infile) TO(outfile)

picus,

Here's a simplified DFSORT/ICETOOL job:

Code:

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG  DD SYSOUT=*
//IN1 DD DSN=A.B.C,DISP=SHR
//OUT1 DD DSN=...  output file1 (sorted)
//OUT2 DD DSN=...  output file2 (unsorted)
//TOOLIN DD *
SORT FROM(IN1) TO(OUT1) USING(CTL1)
COPY FROM(IN1) TO(OUT2)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
  SORT FIELDS=(3,44,CH,A)
/*
