SYNCSORT - Record starting condition & end condition

Hi All,

I have the input file as below:

RECFM=FB, LRECL=80

AAAA
BBBB
CCCC
DDDD
EEEE
FFFF
GGGG
HHHH

Output file should be
CCCC
DDDD
EEEE
FFFF

The condition here is: the copy should start when (01,02,CH,EQ,C'CC')
and it should end when (01,02,CH,EQ,C'FF')
I am not sure if we can use these condition inside SKIPREC OR STOPAFT.

However, if anyone knows a simpler way, please let me know.

-Thanks,
Rakesh.

Hello Rakesh.

Here is a SyncSort for z/OS 1.3.2 job that will produce the requested output:

Thank You Alissa!!! It worked.

I modified the sortcard to my exact requirement... my end condition was also getting satisfied exactly at the first row... so it was copying just one row.

I changed the end condition, and it worked.
