i have two files A and B. A is input file and B is output file. B will have the last processed sequence number. So the next time when we revieve A file it will have new sequence number and that to it should be 1 greater then the last processed file. we need to check this condition.

The files are of FB.
LRECL of A file is 161 and LRECL for B file is 60.

Position to check for A file is 70 to 74 and it is also numeric field and A file is having one header one trailer.
Position to check from B file is 11 to 14 and it is numeric field. B file is having only one record.


The format of the check variable is Numeric.

if A file sequence number is one greater then B file sequence number then we need to process the A file....and if it does not satisfy then we need to send a mail for sending correct file...

So I assume that a zero or non-zero return code you could test would do the trick - right?

Quote:

Position to check for A file is 70 to 74 ...
Position to check from B file is 11 to 14


70-74 is 5 bytes whereas 11-14 is 4 bytes. Are the fields you want to compare really different lengths or did you get the positions wrong for one of them?

Ok, now I realize I don't know which record in fileA has the numeric field you want to check in positions 70-73. Is it the last record in the file or another record? Does that record have an identifier (e.g. C'TRL' in positions 1-3).

Actually, could you please show an example of the records in each input file for the case where the check is true and the case where the check is false.

A file is shown below:

Code:
AAAA                    ABC    HEADER FOR PROPOSED ORDER FILE200904218160IX
999999999999999999999999Abc    TRAILER FOR PROPOSED ORD FILE 000000000X


B file is shown below:

Code:
MT1060CTL 8159 090421   CONTROL FILE - PROPOSED ORDER FEED


Now the file A is having seqeuence number as 8160 and file B is having sequence number as 8159.

A file sequencenumber is one greater then B file...this is correct condition...if this fails i need to send mail for asking correct file....

Here's a DFSORT job that will do what I think you asked for. You'll get RC=0 if the condition is true or RC=16 if the condition is false.

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input fileB (FB/60)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=&&S1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),DISP=(,PASS)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC BUILD=(C'TARG,+',11,4,ZD,ADD,+1,TO=ZD,LENGTH=4,80:X)
/*
//S2    EXEC  PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&S1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input fileA (FB/161)
//SORTOUT DD DUMMY
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY,STOPAFT=1
  OUTFIL NULLOFL=RC16,INCLUDE=(70,4,ZD,EQ,TARG)

This error message indicates that you are using SYNCSORT, not DFSORT.

Frank supports IBM's DFSORT product, not SYNCSORT. You have posted your query is the DFSORT forum whereas you should have posted in thre JCL forum where SYNCSORT questions are posed/answered..

SYNCSORT may or may not have equivalent functionality to the solution Frank proposed for DFSORT.

You are aware that 816C is 8163 with a positive sign.
SyncSort for z/OS 1.3 Programmer’s Guide wrote:
The documentation accompanying WER999A varies with the error involved. It may consist of a standard system dump (SYSUDUMP or SYSABEND) and/or a SyncSort-generated SNAP dump. The SyncSort SNAP is formatted very much like a SYSUDUMP. In debugging the SNAP, care must be taken to avoid reliance on the PSW AT ENTRY TO SNAP and the general registers. (A SNAP dump produced through the SyncSort DEBUG PARM or with a W-abend (i.e., WER999A UNSUCCESSFUL SORT xxxW) is only useful to a sort analyst at SyncSort for z/OS Product Services.

charavind17,

The job I posted works fine with DFSORT as I coded it. The job you posted is NOT the same as the job I posted and you are using Syncsort, not DFSORT. I'm a DFSORT developer. DFSORT and Syncsort are competitive products. I'm happy to answer questions on DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, but I don't answer questions on Syncsort.

No, you didn't.

My S1 SORTOUT file is 80 bytes - you changed it to 60 bytes - that makes a big difference.

But I used 80 bytes I got below error message.

Code:
  OPTION COPY                                                     
  INREC BUILD=(C'TARG,+',11,4,ZD,ADD,+1,TO=ZD,LENGTH=4,80:X)

WER164B     0 BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 1,025,480 BYTES USED       
WER146B  20K BYTES OF EMERGENCY SPACE ALLOCATED                   
WER108I  SORTIN   : RECFM=FB   ; LRECL=    60; BLKSIZE=  4620     
WER257I  INREC RECORD LENGTH =    80

WER110I  SORTOUT  : RECFM=FB   ; LRECL=    80; BLKSIZE= 27920     



So i changed it to 60...

What error message? I don't see one. All I see are B and I (informational) messages - no A (error) message. The SYMNAMES file must have RECFM=FB and LRECL=80 so you can't use 60. That's the reason for the error in step 2.
