Hi,

By using JoinKeys you can matched the records of both the files and display or write the same.

Syntax:
//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTJNF1 DD DSN=File A,DISP=SHR
//SORTJNF2 DD DSN=File B,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=Output file ,DISP=SHR,
// DCB=(LRECL=18,RECFM=FB),UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(TRK,(10,1000))
//SYSIN DD *
JOINKEYS FILES=F1,FIELDS=(1,2,A),SORTED
JOINKEYS FILES=F2,FIELDS=(1,2,A),SORTED
REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,X,F2:1,Y)
OPTION COPY

Thanks,
Ank

ankvardhan,

please learn to use the bbcode (link here)

Code:

//SYSIN DD *
 JOINKEYS FILES=F1,FIELDS=(1,2,A),SORTED
 JOINKEYS FILES=F2,FIELDS=(1,2,A),SORTED
 REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,X,F2:1,Y)
 OPTION COPY
/*


without the use of the [ code ] [ /code ] tags, the TS would not know
to insure all the parameters contained in the SYSIN must start in col 2 (or greater)
with a space in col 1.

Okay, for the given sample inputs try this:
Code:
//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT                         
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*                       
//SORTJNF1 DD *                           
A1                                         
A1                                         
A2                                         
A2                                         
A3                                         
//SORTJNF2 DD *                           
A1                                         
A3                                         
B1                                         
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*                     
//*                                       
//SYSIN DD *                               
  JOINKEYS FILES=F1,FIELDS=(1,2,A),SORTED 
  JOINKEYS FILES=F2,FIELDS=(1,2,A),SORTED 
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,2)                 
  OPTION COPY                             
/*                                         
//*

Thank you so much, Sir.

yes, i tried and it worked. by the way, how to display the recs not matched in different files. in other words, the recs not matched in file a shuold be displayed in file c, and the recs not matched in file b should be displayed in file d.

Best Regards

Anuj,
F2 is defined to merge, the matched records of both the files.
O/P is Like:
FileA FileB
A1 A1
A1 A1
A3 A3

From your JCL
O/P is like
A1
A1
A3

It means the same in both the cases, only difference is F2 includes the matched records of FileB also.

I've just noticed, this thread is in DFSort part of the Forum, Please note there is a difference the way JOINKEYS syntax is allowed in SyncSort and DFsort and I can not check if this will work with DFSort or not as I'm not logged on to the LPAR uses DFSort. For example, DFSort would use F1=IN1 while what I post is SyncSort Syntax. But you said previous solution worked for you..so I leave it to you (and Frank, ofcourse).

xpower,
Try below job for DFSort. Its just another way to get the desired results. The solution Anuj provided earlier,gives the same result as well.

Below job uses DFSort's 1 byte join indicator('?') to determine which records match and which ones doesn't.

'B' - in the join indicator indicates that the key was found in F1 and F2.
'1' - in the join indicator indicates that the key was found in F1, but not in F2.
'2' - in the join indicator indicates that the key was found in F2, but not in F1.

Code:

//STEP01   EXEC PGM=SORT                                               
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SORTJNF1 DD *                                                         
A1                                                                     
A1                                                                     
A2                                                                     
A2                                                                     
A3                                                                     
//SORTJNF2 DD *                                                         
A1                                                                     
A3                                                                     
B1                                                                     
//NOMATCH1 DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//NOMATCH2 DD SYSOUT=*

  OUTFIL FNAMES=MATCH,INCLUDE=(3,1,CH,EQ,C'B'),BUILD=(1,2)

DFSORT supports the syntax you used for JOINKEYS. It also has additional variations of the syntax for ease-of-use.

For complete details on DFSORT's JOINKEYS, see:

hi, I tried the above code and it works fine for me.
In the above example, file1 contains A1 twice and file2 contains A1 only once. What should i do to get A1 only once (i.e same number of occurences as of file2) from file1?

It's not clear what you're asking for. You need to show a better example with the differrent variations you want to handle, and explain the complete rules for getting from input to output.

File1 contains
A1
A1
B1
C1
A1
C1
C1
D1

File2 contains
A1
B1
C1
B1
C1

My requirement is to write the matched records from File1 and it should look like

A1 -> Should come only once, as A1 is present only once in file2
B1
C1
C1 -> should come only twice, because in file2 C1 is present only twice even though C1 is present thrice in file1.

I don't know if it can or not since I don't understand your explanation of what you want.

For example, you have B1 twice in File2, but only once in the output - why?

The rules may be clear to you, but they aren't clear to me.

Hi Frank,

If i understand, the output should contain only the records that are in both files.

If there is an unequal number of records with the same key, the "extras" should be discarded from either file.

By those rules, shouldn't D1 be in the output? It isn't. I think file2 is the controlling file, but I don't understand exactly how. The example shown doesn't even indicate which input file the output records come from so it's very confusing. We shouldn't have to guess what the OP wants.

Hi Frank,

I believe D1 is excluded because it has no match.

For sure . . .

I'm not sure if only the "keys" are to be written or if there even is addtional data in a record. . . icon_confused.gif

Hi Dick,
You are right, the output should contain only the records that are in both files. D1 is rejected because it is not present in File2.

Need to write the O/P using File1 records.

Hello,

How is the determination made as to which File1 records to keep and which to discard when there is an unequal number in File2?

Since we are only matching the key fields of File1 with File2, we can keep any of the matching records.

For example, if A1 is present 5 times in File1 and 3 times in File2, in the output we only need A1 thrice, we can discard any two A1 records.
