I have two files File A and File B (both have recfm VB).

The files are to be matched on hex values at position 10 (length is 6) from File A and at position 5 (length 6) from File B .If match found then extract the File A record that matches File B in a separate File C.

The File Data looks as below:

File A (Hex on):

ABCRFGFT1
F454F786A034000
78677887F00010C

File B (Hex on):

DEFR
342F034000
567400010C

Output File C:

ABCRFGFT1
F454F786A034000
78677887F00010C

Please suggest how to obtain.

Hello,

Why have you chosen to call these "hex'? The data appears to simply be packed-decimal (comp-3 to cobol people).

Are both files already in sequence by this field?

What about negative values? Might there be 'F' signs as well as 'C' signs in the field(s)?

The field is at position 10 in File A and at position 5 in File B.

Also the field is Positive signed Packed Decimal.

Hi zavedali85,

I am assuming this is what your requirement

Code:


//SORTJNF1 DD *                                                                 
7çîå7ÌhÅ®.. ...                                                                 
//*                                                                             
//SORTJNF2 DD *                                                                 
.ã.4.. ...                                                                     
//*                                                                             
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                                         
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                                         
//*                                                                             
//SYSIN    DD *                                                                 
  JOINKEYS FILES=F1,FIELDS=(10,6,A)                                             
  JOINKEYS FILES=F2,FIELDS=(5,6,A)                                             
    SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                           
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,20)
