I know F1 or F2(fileaid) in using copybook for mapping. Does anyone know way without using fileaid.. Right now we have copybooks but I don't know how to use it without even using fileaid for mapping...
Help Appreciated.
Thanks.

we don't have fileaid that I usually used in mapping dataset to its copybook. My new work doesnt have fileaid such as f1 or f2 command to use copybook in mapping. the problem besides fileaid whats the mainframe capability of mapping or using a copybook to map a specific dataset? thanks

We need a tool (like fileaid/filemaster) for mapping copybook with dataset. Without these, I dont think you can map. |

Most pgmrs have a little test pgm that they use to test functions they're not sure of. If you don't, make one and include a COPY stmt for the file layout in WS.
PS Just to be sure, write an 01 level item before the COPY stmt. |

Jack,
How does your suggestion solve TS problem? If I understood OP well, he wanted to map a file with copybook (as we do in FILEAID) without using FILEAID or such tool. |

As jack suggested this is a pretty simple code.
Step 1 :
Put this in your working storage
| Code: |
copy your-copybook-name
|
Step 2 :
And then read the file your are having into the given working storage copybook.
Step 3 :
Put displays as :
| Code: |
Display "WS-FIELD1" : WS-FIELD1
|
This will show you the mapping of file records to its respective copybook.
Note : please make sure you include your copybook library(where the given copybook resides) in the SYSLIB before compiling the program. |

Abhishek,
If you few records, the trick suggested by Jack (and later explained in detailed by you) works well. Assuming you have 'n' million(s) of records..... then  |

Well in that case just try to put formatted mapped output into a output file and try viewing it using 3.4 directly. I think this will be of no harm. |

Will this have any affect on the given logic. I don't think so. As you already have a defined copybook for the file. |

If you have a few million recs, nothing will help except your imagination.
FileAid takes a stab at a solution, but is fnctionally limited. 3.4 will run you into a region size problem.
IMAGINATION!!! |

Hello,
If you have millions of records, they cannot be worked with easily (if at all) anyway.
I'd suggest creating a subset of a small number of records and continuing with the subset. |
