| There's a way to sort from two or more input dataset in ICETOOL without using concatenation and disposition MOD in Output? |

Concatenation is the way to sort from two or more input data sets with DFSORT's ICETOOL. You do NOT need DISP=MOD in the output, e..g
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN DD DSN=... input file1
// DD DSN=... input file2
//OUT DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),DSN=...
//TOOLIN DD *
SORT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) USING(CTL1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
SORT FIELDS=(...)
/*
|
What are you trying to do that prevents you from using concatenation? |

Ok, but is not what I need.
If in ICETOOL i have 1 input that produce 2 output and then I want to produce a third output from the two previous output(in the same ICETOOL)... how can I do this?
In all the sample of ICETOOL in this forum and in the manual I saw only output in append mode(MOD) for my situation but this kind of work has some difficult in the practice. |

Are you talking about something like this?
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN DD DSN=... input file
//T1 DD DSN=&&T1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(,PASS)
//T2 DD DSN=&&T2,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(,PASS)
//CON DD DSN=*.T1,VOL=REF=*.T1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
// DD DSN=*.T2,VOL=REF=*.T2,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//OUT DD DSN=... output file
//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(IN) USING(CTL1)
COPY FROM(CON) TO(OUT) USING(CTL2)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
OUTFIL FNAMES=T1,INCLUDE=(...)
OUTFIL FNAMES=T2,INCLUDE=(...)
/*
//CTL2CNTL DD *
...
/*

This will work providing you don't violate the system restriction of using multivolume data sets for T1 and T2. If you do violate that system restriction, then you won't get all of the records in OUT.
If this is not what you're talking about, then you need to explain clearly with an example what it is you're trying to do. |

Yes is what I need but this kind of restriction ends my search.
It's a very interesting sample...congrats!
And I'm sure that in the future, this sample will be useful. |
