Set return code 0 if count of the detail records(excluding trailer record) in the input file matches with count value in the trailer record else set return code 12...

<<looks sombody has been kind to reformat above to understand it better..

..But I was expecting this from OP itself as being 6 year old to this forum..

Try to look back at this week's postings, a very similar thing came up, I suspect it will give you what you want.

Hi

I have read the lik\nk ,but still some help is needed for me.

from the below
CTL1CNTL is
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTFIL1,REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
TRAILER1=(12,6,7:COUNT-1=(M11,LENGTH=6))

CTL2CNTL is
INCLUDE COND=(5,6,ZD,EQ,11,6,ZD)
I can understand count-1 ,that is giving the count of the records excluding trailer and in M11 format.

But i cant understand why TRAILER1=(12,6 is there?

Another thing the
INCLUDE COND=(5,6,ZD,EQ,11,6,ZD) is also not understood

Can anybody please explain this

Please find my i/p file.

"Mr","Doctra","jkascscaj","isccsl",jdhdj"
"Mr","sbjs","bjjwfk","bjsjsc","bjscjscxx"
"Mr","fjwj","bjccbb","bdhjjk","ndjdjdbn"
TRAILER000003

(1)Can you plesase explain how TRAILER1=(12,6 is taken,
I think only if we know the count is single digit then we can go for 12,6.Please clarify.

(2)Then
INCLUDE COND=(5,6,ZD,EQ,11,6,ZD)
Why 5,6 and 11,6 positions are compared for ? Please clarify this also

Hi,

is your input file FB or VB.

If VB you need to add 4 bytes for the RDW.

Also, check what's written to OUTFIL1, this will assist you immensely.

Can you please help

Hi
Can anybody explain What the fiollowing will do general

TOOLIN is
COPY FROM(INFILE) USING(CTL1)
COUNT FROM(OUTFIL1) EMPTY USING(CTL2)

CTL1CNTL is
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTFIL1,REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
TRAILER1=(12,6,7:COUNT-1=(M11,LENGTH=6))

CTL2CNTL is
INCLUDE COND=(5,6,ZD,EQ,11,6,ZD)

Because i am confused what TRAILER1=(12,6,7:COUNT-1=(M11,LENGTH=6)) will do? I assume it will fetch the six characters from position 12 of input file and then from 7th chjaracter it will print the count of records in 6chars(excluding trailer).
But According to my i/p file it is not correct.
Can anybode also explain what
INCLUDE COND=(5,6,ZD,EQ,11,6,ZD) will do at this point(i.e after trailer1)
