Hi All,
My JCL using below sort cards in 3 steps for different input files.
Sort card used in Step:1
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FINDREP=(IN=(C'"'),OUT=(C' '),STARTPOS=1,ENDPOS=14) |
Sort card used in Step:3
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FINDREP=(IN=(C'"'),OUT=(C' '),STARTPOS=40,ENDPOS=58) |
Sort card used in Step:5
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FINDREP=(IN=(C'"'),OUT=(C' '),STARTPOS=70,ENDPOS=88) |
Code'd : Please use Code tags while posting code/sample data
The sort cards conditions are same but the starting and ending position only differed. Is there any way to combine all the 3 sort cards into single sort card. Thanks in advance for your timely help.
Regards
Paul |

Frankly , for the way You worded Your question, I do not see any reason to complicate Your life .
why would You add additional steps to build dynamically something that is pretty static ???
three different steps==> use there different sets of control cards |

Ok Just trying to understand Is your requirement to execute in single step or multiple steps or to reuse one card for multiple steps?
As per your PM I understand you are using DFSORT
As you asked how to find the DFSORT level
check this link
and paste the complete SYSOUT messages |

Hi Enrico,
All this three control cards planning to add newly. During the testing, As now its working fine. Thought of instead of writing three control cards can we make in a single control card since position only changed. thats why i raised this point.
Thanks

You already told that ...
now tell what is the expected benefit of complicating something so simple ?
You already wasted more employer' s time than needed  |

You never told your DFSORT level.....
Anyway have a look at SYMNAMES it will ensure you use one sort card but anyway to me it doesnt differ much as you need three SYMNAMES INPUT |

Why this is in the JCL section, where Syncsort queries lie, and not in the DFSort section where DFSort queries lie?
What was in the PM? You should not use PM unless especifically asked to do so - now we are missing part of the thread. Pandora-Box, can you post the PM, please? |
