The scenario is as follows:

1) There are two files of record length =260.
2) There are two keys in each file both starting from col. no. 20 and col. no. 30 (of length 10 each)

My requirement is:

If the keys in both the files match, but the rest of the data in the record is not same then fill the 260th col. with "C".

Is there any way to do this using SYNCSORT?

I hope I am clear with the above explanation.

Thank you.

Don't double-post. This is the correct forum for SYNCSORT questions.

Also, I realize this is your first post, but this is the point in the process where you need to post your code, showing us what you're doing and where you're having a problem.

For unmatch records from which file the record is selected? Is it both?

No, it is just from one file.

Say for eg.:

File A Keys MATCH with File B keys.

But the rest of the record in both the files (for which the keys matched) are not same. In such a case "C" needs to be populated.

balimanja,
The following code will help you, provided if file-1 and file-2 having unique key in column 20 and column 30 and both of length 10 and if match not found for other fields of matched key records, letter 'C' will be written in column 260 of file-1 records.

Code:
// EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//FILE1 DD DSN=FILE1...
//FILE2 DD DSN=FILE2...
//T1 DD DSN=&&T1,DISP=(MOD,PASS)
//T2 DD DSN=&&T2,DISP=(MOD,PASS)
//T3 DD DSN=&&T3,DISP=(MOD,PASS)
//OUTFILE DD DSN=OUTFILE...
//TOOLIN DD *
 COPY FROM(FILE1) TO(T1) USING(CTL1)
 COPY FROM(FILE2) TO(T1) USING(CTL2)
 SELECT FROM(T1) TO(T2) ON(20,10,CH) ON(30,10,CH) ALLDUPS
 SELECT FROM(T2) TO(T3) ON(1,260,CH) NODUPS USING(CTL3)
 SORT FROM(T3) TO(OUTFILE) USING(CTL4)
//CTL1CNTL DD *
 INREC OVERLAY=(261:SEQNUM,9,ZD,270:C'1')
//CTL2CNTL DD *
 INREC OVERLAY=(270:C'2')
//CTL3CNTL DD *
 OUTFIL INCLUDE=(270,1,CH,EQ,C'1'),OVERLAY=(260:C'C')
//CTL4CNTL DD *
 SORT FIELDS=(261,9,ZD,A)
 OUTREC FIELDS=(1,260)

Shankar,

Code Logic is excellent...I tried with files having fewer records, but the problem seems to be with space. Initially I tried with UNIT=SYSDA and I got SB37 abend. Then I changed it to UNIT=TAPE and now I am getting S7D1 abend. Files contain nearly 4.5 million records.

And I noticed that the CTL1 has run successfully with RC=0, but the problem is with CTL2.

Is it possible to split your logic into two steps? I am running out of volume.

Thank You,

Shankar.v or dbzTHEdinosauer,

Man, I feel like like "so close yet so far"... The solution is there but it seems like there is a space problem(tried even TAPE). Unable to correct it.

Shankar, is there any way to bypass this problem of SB37 or S7D1? Like splitting your logic into two parts... Need your help.

Thank You, All

.
one reason for SB37 abend is space exceeded the allocated amount.
Try with DASD by using more number of cylinders such as
SPACE=(CYL,(500,500),RLSE).
