Hi,
I have a key file.
| Code: |
Key1 Name City
AAB1 XCVB NewJ
AAB1 XCVB Aust
AAB1 XACB India
AAB1 XACB Aust
AAC1 XCVA Engl
AAC1 XCVD Aust
AAC1 XACC Cert
I have sort the file based on Name and City inside each key.
For Example for the key (AAB1) the name should be sorted first and then based on city.
Output should be:
Key1 Name City
AAB1 XACB Aust
AAB1 XACB India
AAB1 XCVB Aust
AAB1 XCVB NewJ
AAC1 XACC Cert
AAC1 XCVA Engl
AAC1 XCVD Aust

Thanks in Advance,
Venkat |

| Specify three fields in your sort key. If that does not get it for you, you'll have to do a btter job of explaining. |

actually you only need one field in the sort key - the field length would would be the total length of key1 + Name + City
since the fields are contiguous. |

Hi,
If I give just the sort key i will get the output as. I have to sort records for a key1 (which can occur multiple time) and then based on Name and City for each record.
| Code: |
Key1 Name City
AAB1 XACB Aust
AAB1 XACB India
AAC1 XACC Cert
AAC1 XCVA Engl
AAB1 XCVB Aust
AAB1 XCVB NewJ
AAC1 XCVD Aust

Thanks,

Considered so, dbz.
If you don't get it, venkatatcts, we just don't believe you. We think you have your own idea about what DFSORT would do with your data, and then you expect us to provide a solution for how you think it works, not for how it actually works.
Read, code and test with the earlier advice. If you still have problems, show all the stuff previously asked for what you have tried. |

Hello,
I should have read thru to the end before deleting the post from DBZ. . . 
It has been patched back into Bill's reply. . .

Post where you found this in some IBM manual or post the jcl/sort control statements and the informational messages printed for the running of this. Show the actual output file created from this test data.
Your input data fields Are contiguous, right? |
