Hi
is posssible to pass a numeric set variable into Sort skiprec ?
| Code: |
set x=100
set y=150
/SETP001 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//REPORT1 DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=USERID.ABC.INPFILE,
//SORTOUT DD DSN=USERID.ABC.OUTFILE,
// DISP=(,CATLG),
// SPACE=(TRK,(30,10),RLSE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0,DSORG=PS)
//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,(20,5),RLSE)
//SORTWK02 DD UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,(20,5),RLSE)
//SORTWK03 DD UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,(20,5),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY,SKIPREC=x,STOPAFT=y

If your site supports the EXPORT command, you could do something like this, or use the JPn parm to pass symbolics to the DFSORT control statements.
| Code: |
// EXPORT SYMLIST=(X,Y)
// SET X=100,Y=150
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
....
....
//SYSIN DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY
SORT FIELDS=COPY,SKIPREC=&X,STOPAFT=&Y |

Although a working solution has been provided, the following can be useful:
| Code: |
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
....
....
//SYMNAMES DD *
SKP,100 /* careful, "SKIP" has a special meaning */
STP,150
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY,SKIPREC=SKP,STOPAFT=STP |
mostly because the values can be dynamically created in a previous step, if it has any meaning.
(NB: tested with SYNCSORT because that's what I have, but checked with the DFSORT documentation. Should work...) |

| Thats right. I would have passed the parms with JPx TBH. Guess that's the better option here. |

Agree. I thought the OP wanted to run different jobs with the same steps but with a different value for the SKIPREC and STOPAFT-controlled by the SET symbolic, but like you said the symbols could be named in such a way that'd make sense.  |

You may be surprised, but it also works in a simple manner:
| Code: |
// SET X=100,Y=150
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=SORT,PARM='SKIPREC=&X,STOPAFT=&Y'
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
// ....
// ....
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
END
//*
