Hi,
I am trying to use the PARSE operand , but I am getting the following error :
| Code: |
SYSIN :
OPTION COPY
OUTREC PARSE=(%01=(ENDBEFR=C',',FIXLEN=8),
*
%=(ENDBEFR=C','),
%03=(ENDBEFR=C',',FIXLEN=5),
%04=(ENDBEFR=C',',FIXLEN=5),
%05=(FIXLEN=8)),
BUILD=(%01,14:%03,SFF,ADD,%04,SFF,EDIT=(SIIT.T),SIGNS=(,-),
25:%05)
WER268A OUTREC STATEMENT : SYNTAX ERROR
|
My shop has 'SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.2.3.1N' and I am calling :
| Code: |
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
|
Can I use PARSE with PGM=ICEMAN ? or does SYNCSORT have a equivalent operation similar to PARSE ?
Please advice,
Thanks |

Is there a way of using PARSE even though I have SYNCSORT on my shop-shouldn't there by a way for DFSORT operators to continue life on a SYNSORT shop ???

JayC,
SyncSort 1.3 HAS the PARSE operator. That explains why it does n't work for your version.

If you have SyncSort for z/OS Release 1.3, you can use PARSE, nomatter you use PGM=ICEMAN/SORT/SYNCSORT. All these will invoke the same module.
If you explain what exactly you're trying to achieve, with a few sample input records and expected output with relevant field positions, file attributes etc. , somebody here will be able to offer suggestions. |

Jayc - it is 12 minutes since you posted your first thread, so a second post will not magically cause the answer to appear.
What did you find in the SYNCSORT documentation regarding the parse function ?
And why would DFSORT functions be a part of SYNCSORT, or vise versa - they are two totally independant products developed by different companies. |

I was trying to extract fields from each record in a file which are not in at a fixed position in the file . For example : The input is -->
| Code: |
ASDF ASDFS COPY SDFSGWER
ASDF COPY SDFSGWSD
ASDF COPY SDFSGWAC
COPY SDFSGWSE
SDFSSDF COPY SDFSGWSD
SDF COPY SDFSGWAR
|
I want to extract into the output using SORT all field the follow the word "COPY" from the about Input file.
The Output should like this :
| Code: |
SDFSGWER
SDFSGWSD
SDFSGWAC
SDFSGWSE
SDFSGWSD
SDFSGWAR

If the maximum possible starting position at which 'COPY' occurs is small, you could try a series of IFTHENs to check for each position.
Or else you can write a few lines of code to achieve the same which I think would be a better solution. |

JayC (and others),
WER... messages indicate Syncsort
ICE... messages indicate DFSORT
regardless of the name (or alias) of the module being executed. |

Why would there be such? It is most important that when you use a product, you use the documentation for that product, not some product that provides similar functionality.
If you want to use PARSE, negotiate with the system support people (thru your manager) to install the current release of Syncsort. |
