Hi,

In input if at a particular position "D" is present, I need to sort some other position if it's "D" I need to sort on other position. Say, I've this input
Code:
----+----1----+----2--
//SORTIN   DD  *     
6316383017 9059 9094 D
9316383017 9059 9094 M
9316383017 9059 9064 M
9316383017 9059 9064 M
6316383018 9062 9094 D
6316383018 9050 9092 D
8316383017 9059 9064 M
8316383017 9059 9064 M
6316383019 9061 9064 D
6316383019 9040 9064 D
7316383017 9059 9094 M
7316383017 9059 9094 M
6316383020 9070 9094 D
6316383020 9061 9094 D
5316383017 9094 9094 M
6316383021 9094 9094 D
4316383017 9094 9094 M
then teh expected output is:
Code:
----+----1----+----2--
4316383017 9094 9094 M
5316383017 9064 9065 M
5316383017 9094 9094 M
6316383017 9059 9094 D
6316383018 9050 9094 D
6316383018 9062 9092 D
6316383019 9040 9064 D
6316383019 9061 9064 D
6316383020 9061 9094 D
6316383020 9072 9094 D
7316383017 9059 9094 M
7316383017 9059 9094 M
8316383017 9059 9064 M
8316383017 9059 9064 M
9316383017 9059 9094 M
9316383017 9059 9064 M
9316383017 9059 9064 M

INREC with the IFTHEN clause to set the different keys in a common area, sort on that common area and OUTREC to remove the added key location.

You have not explained on what fields the sort needs to be performed if the D is present.

You have not explained what happens if D is not present. Is the data to be sorted, and if so on what fields.

What is the RECFM and LRECL of the input file.

By posting in the JCL forum is the product being used SYNCSORT, and if so, what level / release is being used.

My mistake - if D, I need to sort on (17,4) if M, on (12,4)

If D and M both are not present (say SPACES) are there, don't sort.

FB,80 - for exapmle. I would try to extend to my actual file, in case I failed I'll get back to you guys.

That could cause a problem, does 1.2.3 have the IFTHEN?

Does this mean you do not want this record included in the output?

DB2 Guy,

The sort order you mentioned does nt seem to match the expected results.

The 'D' records in output are NOT sorted on 17,4. And it seems to be sorted on (1,10) instead. icon_rolleyes.gif

Here is a SyncSort for z/OS job that will produce the output as shown in the first post (not based on the written description):
Code:
//SORT1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN  DD DSN=input.dataset,...
//SORTOUT DD DSN=output.dataset,...
//SYSOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN   DD *
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(22,1,CH,EQ,C'D'),OVERLAY=(24:17,4)), 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(22,1,CH,EQ,C'M'),OVERLAY=(24:12,4))   
  SORT FIELDS=(1,10,CH,A,24,4,CH,A)                         
  OUTREC FIELDS=(1,22)                                     
/*

If there are records present in the input data set that do not have a D or M in position 22 and you want them removed from the output, then simply add the following statement to SYSIN:
Code:
INCLUDE COND=(22,1,CH,EQ,C'D',OR,22,1,CH,EQ,C'M')

Hi Arun,

Thanks for your time - Your observation is right; I tried to simulate some sample input and output - and goofed up . . . icon_redface.gif

So which was the actual requirement - the sample data or the description you later provided?

Hi Alissa,

Your Sort give me an idea to start with - Thanks. My file is VB & of length 10978 - will try to "imposr" this sort on that. Hopefully I would be able to it; in case I stuck up some where I'll get back you. . .
