Last but one record from where
PS file, VSAM file, DB2 table, ISPF table, tape, DASD, anything else.
Any particular utility / program you have in mind to use. |

Sorry for incomplete information
Input file - PS, LRECL=80, RECFM=FB
Output file - PS, LRECL=80, RECFM=FB
The output file should contain only the last but one record from the input file
For example, the input file contains 10 records, Output file should contain only the 9th record
OR
if the input file contains 20 records, output file should contain only the 19th record. |

Here is one way to accomplish this task:
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
INREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,4,ZD)
SORT FIELDS=(81,4,CH,D)
OUTREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,4,ZD)
OUTFIL INCLUDE=(81,4,ZD,EQ,2),BUILD=(1,80)

Alissa,
is there a syncsort ability
to OUTFIL from the sorted data
STARTAFTER 1, STOPAFTER 2?
then you would not need the second sequencing. |

Absolutely. Here is the syntax:
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
INREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,4,ZD)
SORT FIELDS=(81,4,CH,D)
OUTFIL STARTREC=2,ENDREC=2,BUILD=(1,80)
