Firstly I have searched extensively for an answer but could not find one. My problem is, I have two files : File1 - Key sequential and File2 - Relative Record. What I need to do is this (1). Build a key from file2 to read File 1
(2). Compare two fields one in File1 and the other in File2 with each other.
If the fields differ I need to overlay the field in File2 with the value
of the field in File1.
If the fields are the same, ignore.
(3). The key from File2 is not unique, there are duplicates.
(4). The key in File1 will always be in File2 also.
Any thoughts? Thanks. |

| Please show an example of the input records in each file and what you want for the output records. Are the records in VSAM input file1 variable length or fixed length - give the maximum length. Are the records in VSAM input file2 variable length or fixed length - give the maximum length. What is the starting position, length and format of the key and any other relevant fields in input file1 and the key and any other relevant fields in input file2? You talk about a key and compare fields ... is the key field the same as the compare field, or are they two different fields? |

Hi Frank.
File1 :Fixed length, Key sequential, Record length = 1980, Key starting position = 1, Length = 11.
Input example:
| Code: |
key fld1 fld2 fld3
------------ ---- ----- -----
1234567 8901 ABCD 12345 aaaaa |
File2 :Fixed length, Relative Record, Record length = 3780, Fld1 starts at position 1 in record, Key is record number as you know.
Input example:
| Code: |
fld1 fld2 fld3 fld4
----------- ---- ----- -----
1234567bbbb 8901 aaaaa 11111
1234567cccc 8901 aaaaa 54321 |
These are the most significant fields in the files. I hope I can explain my problem better this time 'round.
(1). I want to build a key from File2. It will be concatenated from the first 7 characters in fld 1 and the 4 characters from fld2.
(2). I want to use this key to read File1.
(3). When I find the record in File1, I want to compare File1(fld2) with File2(fld4). If The fields are the same ignore, else if the fields are different I want to overlay File2(fld4) with the value of File1(fld2).
I really hope it's clearer now Frank. |

No, it's still not clear. Would the output file have all of the file2 records with some of the fld4 values overlayed, or would it be something else? You need to show more records for each input file and what you expect for the output records. If either file can have duplicates within it, show that in your example of input and output.
Also, for File1 you say the key is 11 bytes, but you show
which is 12 bytes. Is the space really not there or what? |

Hi Frank
I'll try to treat each of your concerns separately.
(1). Yes the output file must have all the File2 records.
(2). Yes only the File2(fld4) values that are different from the File1(fld2) values must be overlayed with the value from File1(fld2).
(3). The File2(fld4) values that are the same as the File1(fld2) values must remain unchanged.
(4). File1 does not have duplicate keys because as I said it is a Key Sequential file.
(5). The key that is being build from File2 does have duplicates.
(6). My apologies regarding File1's key, it is without the space so it is 11 bytes.
Extended version of File1:
| Code: |
key fld1 fld2 fld3
------------ ---- ----- -----
12345678901 ABCD 12345 aaaaa
12345678911 ABCD 32451 aaaaa
23456789211 ABCD 11111 aaaaa |
Extended version of File2.
| Code: |
fld1 fld2 fld3 fld4
----------- ---- ----- -----
1234567bbbb 8901 aaaaa 11111
1234567cccc 8901 aaaaa 54321
1234567eeee 8911 aaaaa 11111
2345678dddd 9211 aaaaa 54321 |
Required output must be :
| Code: |
fld1 fld2 fld3 fld4
----------- ---- ----- -----
1234567bbbb 8901 aaaaa 12345
1234567cccc 8901 aaaaa 12345
1234567eeee 8911 aaaaa 32451
2345678dddd 9211 aaaaa 11111 |

Here's a DFSORT/ICETOOL job that will do what you asked for.
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN1 DD DSN=... input file1 (F/1980)
//IN2 DD DSN=... input file2 (F/3780)
//T1 DD DSN=&&T1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(MOD,PASS)
//OUT DD DSN=... output file (F/3780)
//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(IN1) TO(T1) USING(CTL1) VSAMTYPE(F)
COPY FROM(IN2) TO(T1) USING(CTL2) VSAMTYPE(F)
SPLICE FROM(T1) TO(OUT) ON(1,7,CH) ON(13,4,CH) -
KEEPNODUPS WITHALL WITH(1,23) WITH(29,3752) WITH(3781,1) -
USING(CTL3)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,7,13:8,4,24:19,5,3781:C'11')
/*
//CTL2CNTL DD *
OUTREC OVERLAY=(3781:C'22')
/*

OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,OMIT=(3781,2,CH,EQ,C'11'),
OUTREC=(1,3780)
/*
