Hi All,

I am using the following JCL to remove the duplicates.

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TST01.TUSER.INFILE
//SORTOUT DD DSN= TST01.TUSER.OUTFILE,
// UNIT=DISK,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=133,BLKSIZE=0),
// SPACE=(CYL,(1,5),RLSE)
//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,100)
//SORTWK02 DD UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,100)
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(10,25,A),FORMAT=CH
INCLUDE COND=(3,5,CH,EQ,C'TSTIN')
SUM FIELDS=NONE
/*


SortIn / SortOut file definition’s for the above JCL:

Organization . . . : PS
Record format . . . : FB
Record length . . . : 133
Block size . . . . : 27930


ON THE BELOW EXAMPLES THE EACH ASTRIC ‘*’ IS A BLANK SPACE. JUST FOR READABILITY I HAD PUT IT DOWN.

Input file:

123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
__3___7__0_________0_________0____5______________________133
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-1)
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-8)
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(0)
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-4)
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT1.FILE001(-1)
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT1.FILE001(-1)
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT2.FILE(-1)

Required Output:

123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
__3___7__0_________0_________0____5______________________133
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-4)
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT1.FILE001(-1)
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT2.FILE(-1)


As according to the sysin parameters supplied on the above JCL the syncsort considers the version limit like (-1), (-8) etc., after every dataset and the present output file looks like below.

123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
__3___7__0_________0_________0____5______________________133
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-1)
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-8)
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(0)
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-4)
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT1.FILE001(-1)
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT2.FILE(-1)

But the first 4 records has a redundant datasets, irrespective of the different values in ‘()’. My requirement is sort the input file for all rows between columns 10+25, for each column position, the sort should consider the text before '(' only.


This way i can exclude redundant datasets. I welcome any suggestions.


Regards,
Jai

vjai6977,

If you have Syncsort for z/OS Release 1.3 , you could use the PARSE statement to achieve this. Do a forum Search for more examples.

Hello,

PARSE will definitely work if you have Syncsort for z/OS Release 1.3 which is the latest release of Syncsort.

Thanks,
Arun

HI,

The following sort card will give u solution. And i assumed that maximum length of file name including '**TSTIN**' is 50. U can change as ur requirement.

Code:

//JSTP0010 EXEC PGM=SORT                                               
//SORTIN   DD  DSN=DEV2.RK.TEST(@@CASE),                               
//             DISP=SHR                                               
//SORTOUT  DD  DSN=DEV2.RK.TEST(@@CASE1),                             
//             DISP=SHR                                               
//SORTWK01 DD  UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,20)                             
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSIN    DD *                                                       
    INCLUDE COND=(3,5,CH,EQ,C'TSTIN')                                 
    INREC PARSE=(%01=(ENDBEFR=C'(',FIXLEN=50)), 
      BUILD=(%01)                                                     
    SORT FIELDS=(1,20,CH,A)                                           
    SUM FIELDS=NONE                                                   
//*                                                                   


Input file:
Code:

**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-1)         
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-8)         
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(0)         
**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-4)         
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT1.FILE001(-1)     
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT1.FILE001(-1)     
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT2.FILE(-1)         


Output file:
Code:

**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE       
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT1.FILE001     
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT2.FILE

karthikr44,

Did you have a look at the output records posted in the original requirement. I believe you need to modify he card to something like this.
I cant test this now as I dont have the recent version of SYNCSORT icon_sad.gif
Code:
//SYSIN    DD *                                                       
    INCLUDE COND=(3,5,CH,EQ,C'TSTIN')                                 
    INREC PARSE=(%01=(ENDBEFR=C'(',FIXLEN=50)), 
      BUILD=(1,133,%01)                                                     
    SORT FIELDS=(134,50,CH,A)                                           
    SUM FIELDS=NONE
    OUTREC BUILD=(1,133)       

Thanks,
Arun

HI Arun,

Thanks for spotting the mistake. Ur code provides the following output....

Code:

**TSTIN**TEST01.FEED.FILE(-1)       
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT1.FILE001(-1)     
**TSTIN**TEST01.OUT2.FILE(-1)

If you have DFSORT installed at your shop

If I read it correctly, the OP is using SYNCSORT and NOT DFSORT.

Hello,

There is no reason (even with qualification) to post a DFSORT code suggestion/reply to a Syncsort topic.

It has been removed. . .

Hi,

Thanks for the reply posts.

I tried to execute the solutions proposed by Karthik and sambhaji, either of resulted me on the following error message.

When Used for SORT:
SYSIN :
INCLUDE COND=(3,5,CH,EQ,C'TESTIN')
INREC PARSE=(%01=(ENDBEFR=C'(',FIXLEN=80)),
*
BUILD=(%01)
SORT FIELDS=(1,80,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=NONE
WER901I **WARNING** SYNCSORT 1.2.3.1 WILL EXPIRE IN 77 DAYS
WER268A INREC STATEMENT : SYNTAX ERROR
WER211B SYNCSMF CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000
WER449I SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE


When Used for ICETOOL:

CTL1CNTL :
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INREC PARSE=(%00=(ABSPOS=10,FIXLEN=25,ENDBEFR=C'('),
*
%01=(FIXLEN=2,ENDBEFR=C')')),
BUILD=(1,9,%00,35:C'(',%01,JFY=(SHIFT=RIGHT),C')')
WER428I CALLER-PROVIDED IDENTIFIER IS "0001"
WER901I **WARNING** SYNCSORT 1.2.3.1 WILL EXPIRE IN 77 DAYS
WER268A INREC STATEMENT : SYNTAX ERROR
WER211B SYNCSMF CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000
WER449I SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE


Not too sure about this stuffs, I am using ICETOOL SPLICE for another operation and it works fine for me even now.

Any other suggestions for making the duplicate removal successful.

Regards,
Jai

Hello,

When your system renews the license that will expire soon, it might be a good time to upgrade to the current release of Syncsort. . . icon_wink.gif

For the above SYSIN parameters i am able to get the result. Thanks for the suggestions.

--> One issue I am facing is I am not getting the results as given in the below example post sort results.

--> The result i am obtaining is not maintaining the input order and the rows gets jumbled, this is because we use the sort card
SORT FIELDS=(81,44,BI,A) I tried altering the sort parameter and was not able to achieve the required result. This result i need for cross mapping purpose, and if the post sort is jumbled (not as mentioned in the below required output) the next match step fails for me.

Kindly suggest any changes on the above SYSIN parameters to obtain the below required outputs.

How about a REXX solution that calls SORT from within.

Tried & tested - but this shop uses DFSORT but should not make a difference on so simple a sort request.

JCL
Code:

//STEP0020 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,PARM='ZZZZTEMP'               
//SYSEXEC  DD DSN=whatever..REXX,DISP=SHR                         
//DDNAME   DD DSN=input dataset,DISP=SHR               
//SORTIN   DD DSN=&&TEMP01,DISP=(,PASS),RECFM=FB,LRECL=80 
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=output dataset,and attributes
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//SYSTSIN  DD DUMMY                                       
//SYSIN    DD *                                           
  SORT  FIELDS=(1,44,CH,A)                                 
  SUM   FIELDS=NONE                                       
/*                                                         
//                                                         


REXX
Code:

/* REXX *** FIND AND REMOVE (NN) FROM INPUT FILE                     */
                                                                       
"EXECIO * DISKR DDNAME ( STEM INP. FINIS"                             
DO AA = 1 TO INP.0                                                     
  POSIT = POS('(',INP.AA)                                             
  IF POSIT > 0 THEN
    INP.AA = OVERLAY('            ',INP.AA,POSIT)                       
END                                                                   
                                                                       
"EXECIO * DISKW SORTIN ( STEM INP. FINIS"
