Hi,
I have to merge two files having the first twenty bytes of data same.
My requirement is to select the first 40 bytes of data from first file and merge it with the second file. I used the below sort card.
| Code: |
JOINKEYS FILE=F1,FIELDS=(1,20,A)
JOINKEYS FILE=F2,FIELDS=(1,20,A)
JOIN PAIRED,F2
REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,40,F2:41,2108)
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,40,41,2108) |
But when i run with this sort card am getting JOIN syntax error. But i am unable to find what is the error. Can you please help me with what is wrong with the above sort card? |

it would help to provide us with the error (cut & paste) from the sysout.
and why are you using an OUTREC FIELDS parm?
that is what hte REFORMAT parm accomplishes. |

| What column are your control cards starting in. If column 1, try 2 or later. |

I usually use FILES in JOINKEYs syntax not FILE; I can't test this, at this moment, however, with the given info, please give a try to this:

JOINKEYS FILES=F1,FIELDS=(1,20,A)
JOINKEYS FILES=F2,FIELDS=(1,20,A) |

| Thanks to all... After removing the JOIN PAIRED, F2 statement my sort card worked fine. However my requirement is to join only paired records. |

Yes. You got it right. AFAIK "JOIN,PAIRED" does not exist. If you need only paired records, you just need to omit the JOIN statement itself. |

Mushreys,
Yes arun is correct, the default is JOIN PAIRED you need not declare/code this. PAIRED means matching records will be pulled based on KEYS. |

Prasanth,
The "JOIN PAIRED" does not even exist. It is not like it is the default and you need not code it.
If you code it, you will end up in a syntax error. As I said earlier, if you need only matching records,
you just need to omit the JOIN statement. |
