when you are getting WERxxxx messages it means you are using SYNCSORT not DFSORT.
SQZ is available in SyncSort for z/OS Release 1.3. If you are using earlier versions of SYNCSORT you wont be able to use this feature.
Better go for a COBOL program! |

I have solved this using cobol code.
But i m still not sure whether this can be done using SORT only not using DFSORT tools  |

To answer your question first of all i need to understand your knowledge about sort...
If you dont know, here is brief about DFSORT and SYNCSORT,
When you mention PGM=SORT or PGM=ICEMAN,
this invokes the underlying SORT product thats installed in your site, it may be DFSORT or SYNCSORT. In your case its SYNCSORT.
So, when you ask a question
| Quote: |
| whether this can be done using SORT only not using DFSORT tools |
, this doesnt make sense...
because SORT inturn is triggering the underlying DFSORT or SYNCSORT.
Hope you got the point that i am stressing on...! |

Saying that does not mean I am saying its not possible in SORT.
I am saying I m not sure whether it can be done in Basic SORT utility not going for DFSORT or ICEMAN or ICETOOL
Thats it.
And thanks for ur help for cobol suggestion  |

it would be better to review Your understanding of program' s features
there is no such a thing as basic sort
z_os does not provide any sort facilities/programs/functions
these will be provided only by add on priced products from different companies
for the sake of example the most referred to sort products on these forums are
dfsort by https://www-304.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/software/sort/mvs/
syncsort by http://www.syncsort.com/company/home.htm
when You pay for any of these products there are no different charge features
You get the full package, You like it or not, basic, advanced, tools ( call them any way You want )
under different names You get
the sort itself, DFSORT, ICEMAN, SORT, SYNCSORT
the sort tools, ICETOOL,SYNCTOOL
so no business reason ( apart sheer ignorance on the rule-setters side )
to forbid the usage of programs and facilities which are being paid for |

It can be done using normal sort program.
//YB31CHEK JOB ,'COPY DRSCOPY TO DISK',CLASS=4,MSGCLASS=Y,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=XB48.TXHX0TRP.TEST,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=XB48.TXHX0TRP.TEST1,DISP=OLD
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:1,8,ZD,EDIT=(TTTTTTTT))

Hello Pandiarajan Thavamani and welcome to the forums,
Please check your reply and make sure the topic replied to is the one you intended. Your suggestion does not appear to be for this topic.
This topic has to do with eliminating leading spaces in data records while yours edits some numeric field. |

Hello,
Have you determined where your reply should be located (which topic it is a reply to)?
I'll relocate this when you say where it should go. |
