| IDCAMS or your SORT product will do this for you. |

Thanks for your response...
Yeah, I'm sure the sort cards do this...
But couldn't figure how ...
BTW, By lines I mean rows here...
Also, How could i delete the last few lines of a file?
Thanks! |

If you have DFSORT installed, then all of the documentation you require is available from a "STICKY" post in that forum.
Take a look at the DFSORT Smart Tricks document for how to do this.
However, the functionality available to DFSORT depends on the release level installed. Again, this information will be available in the DFSORT forum.
If you have SYNCSORT installed then you will need to go through the product document as the functionality and/or syntax may vary from that of DFSORT. |

Hello,

If you search for examples in the DFSORT part of the forum or this jcl part of the forum (for Syncsort) suggest you look for records (not rows).
Rows are used in databases not sequential files. Looking for rows in sort topics will not find the "hits" that will be helpful. |
