Hi,

I want to get similar results of SuperCE with Syncsort when comparing two files. May I please know how to achieve it? I thought of using JOIN but it sorts file on supplied key thus does not provide expected output.

Please help.

Thanks.

Hello,

If you want SuperCE output, use SuperCE . . .

Why would you try to force this on a sort product . . . icon_confused.gif

Because we want to find such records and fix them thus, want to use it in our batch process. SuperCE is not showing its entire length. So, looking for SORT solution !

Thanks.

Are you trying to find the records that are INSERTED and DELETED without changing the sequence of records?

ramsri,

If you can explain what exactly you are trying to achieve, may be someone here can help you out. Can you show some sample input and expected output in code tags.

Arun, make sure you get everything to line up. Sometimes we regret what we ask (or at least the response to it) :-)

Ramsri,

Can you show representative sample input data. That means data which covers everything you want to deal with. Show expected output for that sample.

Then can you first show what you tried with SuperCE and why it didn't work for you, what output you received and what was deficient in that.

If you got the same output with SORT, what would you do with it?

Are you running your SuperCE in Batch now?

Do you realize how difficult you make it to help you out?

I have used these Process Options, they may help you:

Code:
Process Options  . . FMVLNS LONGLN UPDLDEL


I also run in batch often:

Code:
Enter "/" to select option      Execution Mode          Output Mode
   Bypass selection list        2  1. Foreground        1  1. View
                                   2. Batch                2. Browse


I do not think you will get SORT to work the same way SuperCE works.

Instead get SuperCE to give you what you need, then add a step to accomplish your final goal.

What that is only you know since you will not share.

Dave, thanks but I am getting B37 error when used "UPDLDEL" option. Can you please give me a link where these 3 options explained and how they are useful. Are they to be used in batch mode only?

Bill, It is the only scenario and since many of us are not familiar with SuperCE in batch App Lead asked if it was possible to achieve in SORT (well known product) ! Reviewer asked lots of question when I gave the write-up (code also) for review and till date could not get it TEST or FIX but running it outside and fixing data !

Thanks.

To resolve your B37 you probably need to delete and re-allocate your Listing DSN, with more space. More width too in order accomate longer lines from the options I mentioned.

These options are available in both batch and online.

To see the options and descriptions, put your cursor on the the word Options at the top of the screen and hit enter. You will see the following. Choose 2 and hit enter. Your can select the optios you want with a slash. The three I chose are described there along with many others.

Code:
Menu  Utilities  Options  Help
________________________________________________
                 | 2  1. Edit Statements        |
Command ===>     |     2. Process Options       |
                 |     3. Profiles and Defaults |
_________________________________________________


I strongly suggest you and others learn SuperCe beter, not try to replicate its functions with sort.

This is the last time I ask this question. If you do not answer, I am done, and I suggest the moderator lock this topic.

If you got the same output with SORT, what would you do with it?

We still do not know what you end result is (other than have sort work like SuperCE is is not a good idea).

Help us help you!

The TS mentioned length, which i interpret to mean
the longest output possible is shorter than the actual record length.

I have worked around this problem by
use SUPERCE which will provide the sequence number of the record
(the sequence in the file - which is the same as the record number)
and wrote a program to
interpret the SUPERCE output
and using the record number, extracting the relevant records from both files.

DBZ,

I agree with your interpretation.

That is why I presented this option:

Code:
                         Listing Control Options
   WIDE     - Up to 80 columns side-by-side. Line length = 202/203 or
   NARROW   - Up to 55 columns side-by-side. Line length = 132/133 or
/  LONGLN   - Lists up to 176 columns. Line length = 202/203.


He does mention his lrecl = 80 however.

We must think alike as I created a similar extract tool.

I took it a step further, doing a byte by byte compare of the two extracted records, putting an asterik under mismatched bytes.

I am just fustrested trying to help the TS, when he refuses to provide a good example of what he is really trying to acomplish.

Dave,
I missed the 80....,
and (as you) am completely confused with his statement,
that the entire length is not shown.
sorry to have added confusion to this topic.

Hello,

If one reviews other topics from ramsri, it is quite common to have to drag info need into the topic . . .

And this is after 5 years . . . icon_confused.gif

OMG, I can not beleive I got into a topic he started.

I warned Bill off of him just recently.

I wonder if this is real, or is he still on 'the bench'?

My head hurts.
