I have a set of input files which needs to be sorted and mapped to the corresponding output files.
eg: TEST.file1.in should be sorted in to output file TEST.file1.out
TEST.file2.in should be sorted in to output file TEST.file2.out
respectively.The sort condition is same for all.
Can this be done using one step or should I use different sort steps ? |

Nagendran,
It can be done in a single SYNCTOOL step like this.
| Code: |
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SYNCTOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN1 DD DSN= Input file-1
//IN2 DD DSN= Input file-2
....
....
//INn DD DSN= Input file-n
//*
//OUT1 DD DSN= Output file-1
//OUT2 DD DSN= Output file-2
....
....
//OUTn DD DSN= Output file-n
//TOOLIN DD *
SORT FROM(IN1) TO(OUT1) USING(CTL1)
SORT FROM(IN2) TO(OUT2) USING(CTL1)
....
....
SORT FROM(INn) TO(OUTn) USING(CTL1)
//CTL1CNTL DD *
SORT FIELDS=(p,l,f,A) |

Hi,
personally I don't see the advantage of creating a single step job to achieve the above, in the event of a failure in the second sort, you may lose the time it took to complete the first sort.
If one of the files needs to be recreated, you would have to hack the step, also unnecessary allocation of resources until required.
