Hi,

How can compare two files and all matched records will be stored in another output file. These two files are different length and key values is also different position in two files.

Fetch the number from first file and that number compare in second file. If any match is occur that record will be stored into output file. But we need all occurences in second file.

Can you please post sample input and required output with
positions specified? it will help to answer.

At this point of time i can only answer that it can be done using ICETOOL.

Give us few more details on the field positions, record length and all. Are you using DFSORT or SYNCSORT?

Do search the forums as this has been discussed many times.

Sorry, but Wednesday is psycic day, so you might want to help us help you by providing some useful information such as the locations of key fields in both files, the RECFM & LRECL of both files.

Read my post again. The very first line says "Check this and change as per your reqts. ".

I have asked him to change the SORT card as per his requirements. We had asked all sorts of questions to the OP which he didn't answer. So just posted assuming that the field positions are same (that is how it looked from teh sample input) .

Anyways shall wait for the OP to answer.

Did you happen to notice this?

We can provide only a generic solution unless the OP comes up with the actual file positions.

Thanks,
Arun

My requirement is, I have two files, files contains data as follows

File1: File length is 50, but key value starts from 10th position, remaining places are empty(Spaces)

100
200
300
500
400
700
600

FIle2: File length 50, here also key value start at 10th position, remaining places are not empty.

123441 100 ABC
123441 100 ABC
123441 100 ABC
123442 200 AAA
123442 200 AAA
123443 500 BBB
123443 500 BBB
123444 600 CCC
123445 800 XYZ
123445 800 XYZ
123446 900 AAA
123446 900 AAA

Output is:

123441 100 ABC
123441 100 ABC
123441 100 ABC
123442 200 AAA
123442 200 AAA
123443 500 BBB

Sreenivasulu,

I have assumed 3 character key starting from 10th position in both the files. If match is found, file-2 record gets copied to output.

The below SYNCSORT job would give you the expected results if your shop has SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.2 or above.

Code:
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=SORT                         
//SORTJNF1 DD DSN=File-1 ------------- FB,LRECL=50
//SORTJNF2 DD DSN=File-2 ------------- FB,LRECL=50
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=Output File -------- FB,LRECL=50                         
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*   
//SYSIN    DD *                                   
  JOINKEYS FILE=F1,FIELDS=(10,3,A)               
  JOINKEYS FILE=F2,FIELDS=(10,3,A)               
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F2:1,50)                       
  SORT FIELDS=COPY       


Thanks,
Arun
