I made a search effort but couldn't find the following as a topic.
I've wanted to find duplicates in an already sorted file but couldn't see anything in the manuals that says you can do it without re-sorting the file.
Hence I've had to code

sort fields=(...)
sum fields=none

in order that the duplicates be counted and removed. Of course, what is happening is that the SUM operation needs to be able to recognise duplicates, and the only way to do this is by the SORT statement, telling of the control fields. If there's a better way then I'm all ears!

By the way, regarding searching, the search box is available in the initial forum point but is unavailable after that. Hence, when a search brings back thousands of records you cannot do a further automatic search through the sub-set. You might say that a better search string should be given, but there is often going to be an occasion when searching returns hundreds or thousands of records. Thus, searching should be available for sub-sets.

You missed this one.

For your purpose, you'd have the HEADER3 version, the SECTIONS being your "sort key".

You might also want to compare against MERGE FIELDS=(and your key).

You need SORTIN01 instead of SORTIN for the MERGE.

Perhaps you can let us know which method is more zippy?

There are a couple of other possibilities if you're really keen,

Jim Alton,

You can use SELECT operator with OPTION COPY which will give you the desired results without performing a sort

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                             
//TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//IN       DD *                                         
ABC    MY #1 DUP RECORD                                 
ABC    MY #2 DUP RECORD                                 
ABC    MY #3 DUP RECORD                                 
ABC    MY #4 DUP RECORD                                 
DEF    MY #1 UNIQ RECORD                                 
//OUT      DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//TOOLIN   DD *                                         
  SELECT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(1,3,CH) FIRST USING(CTL1)   
//CTL1CNTL DD *                                         
  OPTION COPY                                           
//*


The output is
Code:

ABC    MY #1 DUP RECORD   
DEF    MY #1 UNIQ RECORD

This is one of the steps in which I tried the first suggestion, and it gave output that tallies with the method I was using previously.

Code:
//SORT1    EXEC PGM=SORT,REGION=4M,TIME=1439
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSABOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSABEND DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN   DD DSN=*.SORT0.SORTOUT,DISP=(SHR,DELETE)
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=NULLFILE
//SYSIN    DD  *
            OPTION COPY
            OUTFIL SECTIONS=(151,7,HEADER3=(1,9000)),
                NODETAIL,
                REMOVECC
            END


The salient messages given by this step are:

Code:
ICE055I 0 INSERT 0, DELETE 0
ICE054I 0 RECORDS - IN: 119922, OUT: 119922
ICE227I 0 SORTOUT  : DELETED = 119922, REPORT = 71039, DATA = 0
ICE228I 0 SORTOUT  : TOTAL IN = 119922, TOTAL OUT = 71039
ICE174I 0 NO DATA RECORDS FOR AN OUTFIL DATA SET - RC=0


So there were 119922 input records of which 71039 are unique and 48883 (119922 - 71039) are duplicates that were deleted, but among the 71039 are 'originals' of the deleted duplicates. These figures tally with many runs of this step with the old method I used. Then I tried ICETOOL.

You can see that the JCL is just about the same, but the output counts vary.

Code:
//SORT1    EXEC PGM=ICETOOL,REGION=4M,TIME=1439
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*
//IN       DD DSN=*.SORT0.SORTOUT,DISP=(SHR,DELETE)
//OUT      DD DSN=NULLFILE
//TOOLIN   DD  *
            SELECT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(157,7,CH) FIRST USING(CTL1)
//CTL1CNTL DD  *
            OPTION COPY


Here are salient output messages, and note that I not only tried FIRST but also FIRST(1),LAST, ALLDUPS, NODUPS, but in every case the counts, except for the total number of records, don't match with what I've had before.

Code:
ICE000I 0 - CONTROL STATEMENTS FOR 5694-A01, Z/OS DFSORT V1R12 - 09:37 ON THU APR 04, 2013 -
                       OPTION COPY
ICE146I 0 END OF STATEMENTS FROM CTL1CNTL - PARAMETER LIST STATEMENTS FOLLOW
           DEBUG NOABEND,ESTAE
           OPTION MSGDDN=DFSMSG,LIST,MSGPRT=ALL,RESINV=0,SORTDD=CTL1,SORTIN=IN,SORTOUT=OUT,DYNALLOC,SZERO,EQUALS,NOVLSHRT,LOCALE=NONE,NOCHECK
           SORT FIELDS=(157,7,CH,A)
           MODS E35=(ICE35DU,12288)

ICE055I 0 INSERT 0, DELETE 29122
ICE054I 0 RECORDS - IN: 119922, OUT: 90800


I hope you can see what I'm getting at, so what is the explanation for these differing counts?

Jim,

Can you post the full output from both steps please? There is "salient" for the counts and "salient" for what is going on.

Jim Alton,

Sections is using BINARY comparison and select is using Character comparison. DFSORT sorts BI and CH data the same unless there's an option in effect that affects the collating sequence of the CH data like LOCALE or CHALT.

How about changing SELECT also to BI and see if you are still getting different results?

If you are still getting different results then please add the following to your job and re-run the job and send us the complete sysout to dfsort@us.ibm.com.
Code:

//SORTDIAG DD DUMMY

In the following I've provided the step jcl and the sort messages. Note that in the ICETOOL SELECT I've used BI instead of CH, as suggested, but it has made no difference; but then it shouldn't since we are not doing a sort in this step but a copy of an already sorted file, and, presumably, ICETOOL is simply making a comparison on the control field to see if the current record's control field is equal to the previous record's control field, and for a simple equals comparison the collating sequence would be immaterial. Note that I've copied and pasted the following from a 3270, 80 byte screen so some of the messages are truncated but I'm hoping that it won't matter.


//SORT1 EXEC PGM=SORT,REGION=4M,TIME=1439

Did you follow Kolusu's advice with the SORTDIAG and ship the output of to DFSORT? Full and unchopped messages. Perhaps XDC it, or some such.

Dear Bill,

I followed Kolusu's advice and included SORTDIAG in each step, as can be seen by the JCL I included in my last message; because of this, I am puzzled by the meaning of your question: "Did you follow Kolusu's advice with the SORTDIAG and ship the output of to DFSORT?". There is extra information in the output messages that you should recognise, presumably provided because of the SORTDIAG DD statement.
Regarding the truncation of the messages at 80 bytes, if you really can't determine much from what I've already supplied then I'll try to supply the truncated parts as well; however, the method you suggest, XDC, I don't recognise - is it a standard function of an IBM setup?

XDC is an SDSF function to output data from the spool to a dataset. What you seem to be missing is that Kolusu asked you to send the sysout to him by e-mail - not post it here.

Thanks, Nic - I've never exported SDSF output to a dataset, but I'll see if I can do it on Monday. I hope it's an option that is available to me - i.e. that it's a standard function within SDSF that isn't sometimes made unavailable.

On second thought, you can simply change //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* to //SYSOUT DD DSN=name.of.file

Yes, it was the e-mailing to the DFSORT people I was asking about, sorry to not be clear, Jim.

The SYSOUT to the dataset is another way (requiring a re-run, of course). If you have the output sitting in the queue, ? the job, XDC against the relevant sysouts for the relevant steps, and you should be prompted from there. If that doesn't work, then yes, it's probably been chopped. Perhaps look at "SDSF in batch"?

Thanks, Mistah Kurtz - the most obvious solution had to come from someone with second thoughts!
Also, thanks for the link about sending SDSF output to a dataset (XDC). After being informed about XDC I imagined that there would be an SDSF line command or separate panel, but I can see from that link that it would involve coding a REXX exec, referring to SDSF panels, none of which I've done, though I would probably have given it a go, except you've suggested a simpler - though less interesting - solution!

I'm in ecstasy about all this advice on XDC.
Thanks, Bill, I'll try issuing it as a line command if the output is still extant.

Hi..XDC can be used as line command as below:

Code:
SDSF JOB DATA SET DISPLAY - JOB XXXXXXXX (JOB00001)    LINE 1-11 (11)         
COMMAND INPUT ===>                                            SCROLL ===> CSR 
NP   DDNAME   StepName ProcStep DSID Owner    C Dest               Rec-Cnt Page
     JESMSGLG JES2                 2 XXXXXXX  H LOCAL                   35     
     JESJCL   JES2                 3 XXXXXXX  H LOCAL                   64     
     JESYSMSG JES2                 4 XXXXXXX  H LOCAL                  154     
xdc  SYSOUT   STEP001            107 XXXXXXX  H LOCAL                  104

Thanks for the demonstration Mistah Kurtz - as I said earlier, I hope XDC is a standard function that is available to me, and I'll be able to determine that tomorrow, Monday.
By the way, how are you copying your mainframe screen into the forum's reply box? You can see from my earlier replies that copying and pasting from the mainframe screen results in text being imported, but you seem to have saved your screen as an image and pasted that image via the image option of BBCode - correct?

In a "Post Reply" you'll see lots of buttons to apply the bbcode for formatting.

The Code button does the non-proportional font for screens, data and reports.

Use the Preview button to see what the post will look like.

In the following I've provided the step jcl and the sort messages. Note that in the ICETOOL SELECT I've used BI instead of CH, as suggested, but it has made no difference; but then it shouldn't since we are not doing a sort in this step but a copy of an already sorted file, and, presumably, ICETOOL is simply making a comparison on the control field to see if the current record's control field is equal to the previous record's control field, and for a simple equals comparison the collating sequence would be immaterial. Note that I've copied and pasted the following from a 3270, 80 byte screen so some of the messages are truncated but I'm hoping that it won't matter.

Thanks for the advice on 'Code' - I see how it works.
Also, XDC worked, and I transferred the datasets to text files and mailed them off to Skolusu a few minutes ago.

Jim alton sent me the update today. He was busy with some other work and finally looked into it. And the mistake is right infront of us

Jim Alton wrote:

On the the SORT I have SECTIONS=(151,7,HEADER3=(1,9000)), and on ICETOOL the control field is ON(157,7,BI).


which caused the mismatch in the number of records on the output. So the issue is now closed.

PS: Jim is still unable to logon to the forum.

Hello,

The firewall had blocked Jim's ip address - it should be resolved per site admin.
