Dear Experts,
I am getting a file from another mainframe system of 80 lenght,fixed block.
For my reporting purpose I am only interested in records whereever from position 46 and next 5 lenght it has value 40834.with a hex on on this file I see following on mainframe.I am wondering if this is EBCDIC format?
FFFFF
40834
I actually need 10 sample records copied from this file with key as this field which is starting at position 46 and has lenght of 5.
I am not sure what datatype should be used with sort on this. |

| Okay,thanks,I am wondering if DFSORt has something for checking this datatype directly or there would be some internal conversion I would have to do. |

raghavmcs,
Use the following DFSORT JCL . All you need is a simple include cond and copy statement and restrict it to the number of records you want.
| Code: |
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=Your input Vb file,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
INCLUDE COND=(50,5,CH,EQ,C'40834')
OPTION COPY,STOPAFT=10
//* |
