Hi all,

I had query in JCL. I want to fetch the data from input file and write to output file. Here is the test data.

ITEM TIMESTAMP
123 123456
122 123457
121 123459
121 123460
121 123461

Ouput will be:

123 123456
122 123457
121 123461

I have to get the unique value for Item, If there is multiple occurence for item like 121 than I have select the line with latest timestamp or with highest TIMESTAMP VALUE, ignoring the other values.

I want to do it through JCL, can u all help me out.

Here's a DFSORT/ICETOOL job that will do what you asked for.

Code:

//S1   EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*
//IN  DD *
123 123456
122 123457
121 123459
121 123460
121 123461
/*
//OUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLIN   DD *
SELECT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(1,3,CH) LAST USING(CTL1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
  SORT FIELDS=(1,3,CH,D)
/*


If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
