I have a flat file.

My requirement is to get the System date.
Number of records from the input file.

Using the following structure write (append) it to another flat file.

Structure of the Output file is

1:10 --> System Date
11:3 --> '033' (Hard Coded value. This remains constant always)
14:10 --> 'Table Name' (Hard Coded value. This remains constant always)
24:12 --> Records Count

Please let me know using Syncsort how to code the JCL for the above requirement. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Hello Muralee,

Try out this one. You may change the card as per your file attributes.

Code:
//SYSIN    DD *                                   
  INREC OVERLAY=(81:C'000000000001')             
  SORT FIELDS=(1,80,CH,A)                         
  SUM FIELDS=(81,12,ZD)                           
  OUTREC FIELDS=(&DATE1(-),C'033your table',81,12)


Thanks,
Arun

Thank You Arun for Your response.

I tested the JCL using sort parameters provided by you.
It is giving error on OVERLAY parameter.
In our facility we are using SYNCSORT version 1.2.0.1R.
I am not sure if this version supports OVERLAY parameter or not.

Hello,

Please post your jcl, sort control statements, and the complete diagnostic info from the problem run.

Use copy/paste and the "Code" tag to make your post more readable. Please - Do not re-key any of this.

//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*

Yesterday SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.3.0.0N has been installed in our Mainframe. Currently they did it in Test region and asked us to use the following steplib

Code:
//STEPLIB  DD DSN=SYSMPR.SYNCSORT.SYNCLINK,DISP=SHR
//         DD DSN=SYSMPR.SYNCSORT.SYNCRENT,DISP=SHR


Now My JCL Looks Like

Code:
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=SORT
//STEPLIB  DD DSN=SYSMPR.SYNCSORT.SYNCLINK,DISP=SHR       
//         DD DSN=SYSMPR.SYNCSORT.SYNCRENT,DISP=SHR       
//SORTIN   DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=SHR     
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=FILE2,DISP=MOD
//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,1)                   
//SORTWK02 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,1)                   
//SORTWK03 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,1)                   
//SORTWK04 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,1)                   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//SYSIN    DD *                                           
  INREC OVERLAY=(24:C'000000000001')                     
  SORT FIELDS=(1,183,CH,A)                               
  SUM FIELDS=(24,12,ZD)                                   
  OUTREC FIELDS=(&DATE1(-),C'033TABLE NAME',24,12)       
/*                                                       
//                                                       


Still I am getting the error

Code:

Yes, but not because of OVERLAY. . .

Code:
WER186I  SVC 201 IS INCORRECT VERSION OR NOT A SYNCSORT SVC;
You need to show this to your Systems people who installed the new release.

Correction, it requires SyncSort for z/OS 1.2.1.0 or later.

This is an informational message which should be addressed. However, it should not cause the job to fail.

The following is the real problem:

Hi Alissa,

Sorry for the mis-info. . .

I replied as i did because my Syncsort 1.2 manual has this right after the table of contents:
Quote:
SyncSort for z/OS Release 1.2 - Summary of Changes

The 1.2.1 (TPF1) level of SyncSort for z/OS Release 1.2 was preceded by SyncSort for z/OS Release 1.2.0. This Summary of Changes identifies changes for both release levels as follows:

In this doc, OVERLAY is not among the "Control Statements" and using the pdf search ges 0 hits.

Do i have the wrong 1.2 manual?

Thanks,

d

Hi Dick.

No, you don't have the wrong manual. We released an Addendum to the SyncSort for z/OS 1.2 Programmer's to include the features and enhancements built into 1.2.1.0. If you don't have it, send me a quick note offline and I can send it to you.

Hi,

I'm a bit confused with this request,
Quote:

You do NOT want to sort it yet there are SORT FIELDS, the File is VB and not FB, so the data starts at byte 5 and not 1.

Yes. You are right. Data should start at position 5. Sorry for the Confusion created.
Since Arun suggested me to use SORT FIELDS so I was trying with that option.
Since 5 days I am trying to get hold of a solution for this problem but could not succeed.
Still I am waiting from the Forum to get some solution.

Thanks.

Hello,

Did you correct the error Alissa pointed out - about the overlap with the sum field?

Quote:
EXPLANATION: A SUM field overlaps another SUM field, a SORT/
MERGE control field or the Record Descriptor Word of a variable-length
record. All of these are illegal.


You need to correct the overlap between the sort field and the sum field. If you have corrected the overlap and still have problems, post back the current problem.

Hello Muralee,

The solution given was for an FB file of LRECL=80. Now you can change it as per your requirement. My release is Syncsort 1.2 which supports OVERLAY.

Thanks,
Arun

Thank You Arun.
The following code worked for me.

Code:
  INREC OVERLAY=(196:SEQNUM,12,ZD)           
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                           
  OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,                 
  TRAILER1=(&DATE=(MD4/),C'|83 ',           
  C'|TABLE-NAME                    |',196,12),CONVERT


Thank You All/ibmmainframes.com for Helping me to get a solution.
