Hi All  ,
I am using the following JCL, but the output does not come in specified sort order as given in the below Syctool control card. Please advice...
| Code: |
//JSTEP010 EXEC PGM=SYNCTOOL
//**
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//**
//IN DD DSN=Input dataset...
// DISP=SHR
//*
//OUT DD SYSOUT=*
//**
//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(IN) TO(OUT) USING(CTL1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
*
INCLUDE COND=(424,001,CH,EQ,C'X',AND,
394,001,CH,EQ,C'Y')
*
INREC FIELDS=(395,004,
342,026,
424,010,
984,010)
*
SORT FIELDS=(001,004,BI,A,
041,010,CH,D,
005,026,CH,D)
*
OUTREC FIELDS=(001:001,004,BI,EDIT=(TTTTTTTTT),
010:X,
011:031,010,
021:X,
022:041,010,

Hello,
The job will have done what you told it to do. . .
You need to post a bit of sample input, the output you want from the sample input, the "wrong"actual output and the informational data presented by the run. |

Its doing what it has been asked to do - COPY. Change the COPY to SORT.
| Code: |
| COPY FROM(IN) TO(OUT) USING(CTL1) |
Change the above to
| Code: |
| SORT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) USING(CTL1) |

Thanks Arun...
Its working perfect... I assume DFSORT/ICETOOL would sort even if it is COPY
Thanks again..

No, you need to tell the sort what to do. "SORT ..." and "COPY..." are different functions. |

Hi,
from my tests, DFSORT will sort even if you have COPY.

Hi Gerry,
if you look at the Chapter 2, sub-topic: Copying Data Sets of DFSORT: Getting Started, it says(emphasis added by me),
| Quote: |
Copying Data Sets
With DFSORT you can copy data sets directly without performing a sort or merge. |
...did you mean something else?
PS. I'm not a DFSort spoke-person, if I've interpreted the manual wrongly, please do correct me. |

Hi Anuj,
ran the same JCL with DFSORT and SYNCSORT using
| Code: |
| COPY FROM(IN) TO(OUT) USING(CTL1) |
and DFSORT sorts the records.

Hi Gerry,
I've sent a note to Frank to have a look on this thread - I'm not the correct person, I believe, to comment on this any further (as my shop uses SyncSort these days). |

| Yes, SyncSort and DFSort behave differently in this situation. However, if so desired, SyncSort can be modified to perform the SORT in CTLnCNTL when COPY has been specified in TOOLIN. |

| DFSORT's ICETOOL will, in fact, do a SORT in this case. We found that for some reason, people often use a COPY operator instead of a SORT operator when they want to do a SORT, so if we see a SORT statement in that case, we do a SORT. Makes sense to us. |
