I am trying to work on following

Expand the 3rd byte from 1 to 3 bytes and if in the input file at the 3rd position its 0 or * then put 000 or ***

For example

Input file
Code:

AB0CD
ABCDE
AB*CD



Output file should be

Code:

AB000CD
ABC  DE
AB***CD


I can do that in 2 steps

Step 1 SORT card. This will insert 2 spaces after position 3
Code:

OPTION COPY               
INREC FIELDS=(1:1,3,6:4,2)


Step2
Code:

SORT FIELDS=COPY                                       
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,CH,EQ,C'0'),OVERLAY=(4:C'00')),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,CH,EQ,C'*'),OVERLAY=(4:C'**'))       


Can this be done in one step? May be through icetool or DFSORT. Please advice

Hi,

just run step2 and use build instead of overlay.

Hi,

If i used only BUILD as below without running STEP 1 as below


Code:


SORT FIELDS=COPY                                     
OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,CH,EQ,C'0'),BUILD=(4:C'00')),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,CH,EQ,C'*'),BUILD=(4:C'**'))       


I am getting following
Code:

   00
   **
11111
22222

Hi,

try this
Code:

 SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                     
 OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,CH,EQ,C'0'),BUILD=(1,3,4:C'00',4,2)),       
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,CH,EQ,C'*'),BUILD=(1,3,4:C'**',4,2)),       
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=NONE,                                           
                BUILD=(1,3,4:C'  ',4,2))

Hi,

Thanks for this. This is working but its not working on records having values not equal to * or 0. Example

Code:

AB0CD
ABCDE
AB*CD


should give i.e 2 spaces in the 2nd record
Code:

AB000CD
ABC  DE
AB***CD


But with the above code, i am getting i.e. no spaces in the 2nd record
Code:

AB000CD
ABCDE
AB***CD


Can there be Not equal to * or 0 condition that can be put[/code]

Hi Gerry,

Many many thanks. Its worked. I learned about BUILD today. I also tried with following code and i am getting the same results

Code:

SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                   
  OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,CH,EQ,C'0'),BUILD=(1,3,4:C'00',4,2)),   
         IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,CH,EQ,C'*'),BUILD=(1,3,4:C'**',4,2)),   
         IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,CH,NE,C'*',OR,3,1,CH,NE,C'0'),         
                BUILD=(1,3,4:C'  ',4,2))

You could try this. For each record it repeats the third byte to positions four and five. Then using SS it tests for not 0 or * and puts two blanks in positions four and five for all but 0 and *.


Code:
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                     
       
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
                     BUILD=(1,3,3,1,3,1,4,2)),
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,SS,NE,C'0,*'),
                     OVERLAY=(4:2X))


There is now only one reference to 0 or * and if the values have to be changed/extended the changes to the code are minimal.

Using symbols/SYMNAMES would clarify what it is doing and reduce potential maintenance issues.

this should really read

Personally I'm against using SS with multiple selections in the same statement.

Hi,

I'm not sure what you think it should be saying.

(x,1,SS,EQ,C'0,*') will be true for 0 or *.

(x,1,SS,NE,C'0,*') will be true for everything except 0 or *.

The comma is just a separator for the values.

For me the SS with multiple values is poweful. Multiple values can be tested for without worry about OR or AND or multiple IF statements. Like an 88 in COBOL with multiple values. Simplifies things.

The simplification attempted here was different: to only have the "0" or "*" appear once in the code. When the code is changed, it is much more difficult to get it wrong - as it remove the chance of testing for one value and setting another.

Hi Bill,

SS doesn't really use the separator as a separator. It's just another character

Code:
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                     
       
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
                     BUILD=(1,3,3,1,3,1,4,2)),
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,SS,NE,C'0,*'),
                     OVERLAY=(4:2X))

The above code equates to
Code:
   SORT FIELDS=COPY                                     
                                                       
   INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,                             
                      BUILD=(1,3,3,1,3,1,4,2)),         
         IFTHEN=(WHEN=(3,1,CH,NE,C'0',&,               
                       3,1,CH,NE,C',',&,               
                       3,1,CH,NE,C'*'),                 
                              OVERLAY=(4:2X))

Hi Gerry,

Do you have a reference for that? The sperator needn't be a comma, it can be anything which is not required in the test. But a seperator is needed as a separator, otherwise the orther SS test will be done.

Arriving slowly at what you mean Gerry. Some interesting effects.

The separator used can be any character - just make sure it cannot appear in the data being searched.


If the separator does/can exist in the data being searched, you can/will get unintended results. It is in the manual, under INCLUDE.

PS. Additional tests are being carried out when using multiple values
