Hi,All
I want to perform matching on keys but the problem is keys in both the datasets are of different data type.
Input file 1
U1 2 1 P
Input file 2
U2 1 2 A
How to do conversion before matching? |

It would help if you gave some usefull information.
As this is posted in the CA products forum, are we to assume that your site uses CA-SORT.
What is the RECFM & LRECL of both files.
What are the key positions and lengths for both files.
What format are the keys to be compared.
What happens if (a) Keys match or (b) keys mismatch |

RECFM is FB
LRECL of both the datasets are different Infile1 is 80 & other is 120
The position of key is different in both the files
Infile 1
U1 2 1 P
P1 3 10 A
Infile2
U2 1 2 A
P2 5 10 A
The key to be matched is U1+P1 from Infile1 & U2+P2 from Infile 2.
I wrote
JOB INPUT (INFILE1 KEY ( U1 P1) + INFILE2 KEY (U2 P2) )
Job errored on the above line giving the error message that both the keys are not of same format |

Hello,
Appears to be an Easytrieve question. . .

Yes, they are not the same.
You can either reformat the smaller volume file to use the attributes of the other or jou can replace the JOB INPUT specified with a JOB INPUT NULL and write your own matching code. |

Hello,
Most likely not. . . At least not completely. . .
There is nowhere the data is "gotten" from the files. There is no compare to see if the files are "high", "low" or equal.
At the top of the cobol forum is a "Sticky" of working code to do what i believe you want to do. You would need to incorporate that logic into the Easytrieve code. |
