Hi All,
I have not used icetool earlier. I have to append date from inputfile-1 to all the records present in inputfile-2. Please find below a sample.
Inputfile-1:
2012-05-04

Inputfile-2:
AAAAAA
BBBBBB
CCCCCC

Output should be:
AAAAAA2012-05-04
BBBBBB2012-05-04
CCCCCC2012-05-04

I have to do it using icetool. Can someone kindly let me know how to do it.
Thanks in advance to all...
Regards,
Vineet

See if below helps...
Code:
//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=SORT                                         
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                           
//SORTIN   DD *                                                 
2012-05-04                                                       
/*                                                               
//DATEFL   DD DSN=&&DT,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),DISP=(,PASS)
//SYSIN    DD *

Hi Vineet,

If you are able to create both of your input files with an extra space you can avoid an extra step

Code:
//SRTJK EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//INA DD *
AAAAAA
BBBBBB
CCCCCC
//INB DD *
2012-05-04
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD *
  JOINKEYS F1=INA,FIELDS=(7,1,A)
  JOINKEYS F2=INB,FIELDS=(11,1,A)
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,6,F2:1,10)
  SORT FIELDS=COPY


Output

Code:
AAAAAA2012-05-04
BBBBBB2012-05-04
CCCCCC2012-05-04


Sqlcode ,

I am just improving with your guidance icon_biggrin.gif not sure how much better this could be

Pandora-Box,
Your above solution using joinkeys only worked because you are providing instream data. Wait until someone from DFSort team corrects you.

You don't need my guidance but DFSort team's.

Thanks,

Nah Until then I would have used ICETOOL if you have not corrected me

Also I created a input files and ran them

Code:
//SRTJK EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//INA DD  DSN=PANDORA.TEST.JCL(TEST2),DISP=SHR
//INB DD  DSN=PANDORA.TEST.JCL(TEST1),DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD *
  JOINKEYS F1=INA,FIELDS=(7,1,A)
  JOINKEYS F2=INB,FIELDS=(11,1,A)
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,6,F2:1,10)
  SORT FIELDS=COPY

TEST1 contains
Code:
2012-05-04

TEST2 CONTAINING
Code:
AAAAAA
AAAAAA
AAAAAA
AAAAAA
BBBBBB
CCCCCC


Output

Code:
AAAAAA2012-05-04
AAAAAA2012-05-04
AAAAAA2012-05-04
AAAAAA2012-05-04
BBBBBB2012-05-04
CCCCCC2012-05-04

Pandora-Box,

Your joinkeys job is performing a SORT on both files which you really don't need to. Imagine if the master file had millions of records and a sort operation on it is a mere waste of resources. Also you are assuming that the input files are created with a space in their respective positions in their files which may or may not be true. On the other hand the symbol generation job is using a COPY operation which is much more efficient. The symbol generation job is just reading 1 record and writting out a symbol statement which will be later used in copying the Master file. It is NOT about how many steps you code , it is about efficiency. In this case 2 step symbol generation method is much more efficient than a Joinkeys with SORT operation.

If you do insist using joinkeys, I would make sure you use SORTED,NOSEQCK parameters to force a COPY operation instead of SORT.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                         
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                           
//INA      DD *                                   
AAAAAA                                           
BBBBBB                                           
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5
CCCCCC                                           
//INB      DD *                                   
2012-05-04                                       
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                           
//SYSIN    DD *                                   
  JOINKEYS F1=INA,FIELDS=(81,1,A),SORTED,NOSEQCK 
  JOINKEYS F2=INB,FIELDS=(11,1,A),SORTED,NOSEQCK 
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,6,F2:1,10,F1:17,64)       
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                               
//*                                               
//JNF1CNTL DD *                                   
  INREC OVERLAY=(81:X)                           
//*                                               
//JNF2CNTL DD *                                   
  OPTION STOPAFT=1                               
  INREC OVERLAY=(11:X)                           
//*



I also slightly modified Sqlcode's symbol generation method.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                                 
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//SORTIN   DD *                                           
2012-05-04                                               
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=&&DT,DISP=(,PASS),SPACE=(TRK,(1,0),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD *                                           
  OPTION COPY,STOPAFT=1                                   
  OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,BUILD=(80X),                   
  HEADER1=('DT,C''',01,10,C'''')                         
//*                                                       
//STEP0200 EXEC PGM=SORT                                 
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&DT,DISP=(OLD,PASS)                   
//SORTIN   DD *                                           
AAAAAA                                                   
BBBBBB                                                   
CCCCCC                                                   
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//SYSIN    DD *                                           
  OPTION COPY                                             
  INREC OVERLAY=(7:DT)                                   
//*

Hi All,

Thanks for all the suggestions. It was really very helpful, I have coded using SYMNAMES.
Regards,
Vineet
