Hi,
I have a file name created in a step.. Say the file name is ABC.DEF. The content of the file may have another file name or filenames listed in each line as a record....
let the contents of the file ABC.DEF be
XYZ.AAA
I need make use of the file name XYZ.AAA in the next step..
Please let me know is there any utility to perform this.. or any other way of doing this through SORT utility... |

What is your next step doing?
Are all the filenames of the same length, if you have multiple filenames?
Thanks,
Arun |

Yes, All the files are of same record length...
I will be using these files in the sort step to merge into a single file and use it for further processing.. |

You will need to use a dynamic file allocation routine if the files contained in dataset 1 are to be used within the same job.
One the JCl has been interpretted by JES the JCL is then unchangeable, so you can not then use those files from within the same JCL unless the allocation is dynamic. |

Are you merging the files based on some key or you just need to concatenate all the files? Can you post here the sort card you use in step2.
Thanks,
Arun |

The Sortcard used in the next step is
MERGE FIELDS=(1,25,A),FORMAT=BI
Thanks

Hi Srinath,
Can you try this. It reads your input file and creates the subsequent merge job .
| Code: |
//STEP00 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your.input.file...........
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL REMOVECC,
HEADER1=('//XXXXXXXX JOB (XXXX),''SORT JOB'',CLASS=C,MSGCLASS=X,',/,
'// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,REGION=4096K',/,
'//STEP00 EXEC PGM=SORT',/,
'//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*',/,
'//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*',/,
'//SYSIN DD *',/,
' MERGE FIELDS=(1,16,A),FORMAT=BI'),
BUILD=(C'//SORTIN',SEQNUM,2,ZD,C' DD DISP=SHR,DSN=',1,44,80:X)
//* |
SYSOUT will have the merge jcl. You can change
to
after verfying the generated jcl.
Thanks,
Arun |

Hi Arun,
Just a Curious to know what the "BUILD" option is used for in the Sortcard given by you...
Also let me know the usage of REMOVECC ...
Thanks

Srinath,
From the manuals
BUILD:
| Quote: |
| You can reformat records in one of the following three ways: v BUILD: Reformat each record by specifying all of its items one by one. Build gives you complete control over the items you want in your reformatted records and the order in which they appear. You can delete, rearrange and insert fields and constants. |
REMOVECC:
| Quote: |
| If you do not want the ANSI carriage control characters in your report, you can add OUTFIL’s REMOVECC parameter to your OUTFIL statement. REMOVECC tells DFSORT to remove the carriage control character from the first byte of each record. As a result, the data starts in column 1 of the report rather than in column 2. |
| Code: |
| BUILD=(C'//SORTIN',SEQNUM,2,ZD,C' DD DISP=SHR,DSN=',1,44,80:X) |
This BUILDS a record.
First it writes //SORTIN, followed by the seqnum of 2 bytes (this would make the DD name look like SORTIN01,SORTIN02 etc)
then writes DD DISP=SHR,DSN= and
then the data from colums 1 to 44 from the input and
then padding spaces till column no 80. |

Thanks Aaru!!!
Is the sequence number of 2 bytes incremented automatically for each record...
Thanks

Yes. By default it gets incremented by 1 unless you provide some specific value.
Thanks,
