I think we can't do this using file Aid. FileAID is only for viewing and editing the data sets i feel.

Peter,
I tried with TALLY for a VSAM file and was able to get the below o/p with record count, LRECL etc..
Can you please advice on how to get the TOTAL OF A PARTICULAR COLUMN ?
Is there any commands to be used with TALLY ? (specifying the column postion etc..)

Code:
LRECL=100,KEYLEN=15,NRECRDS=178,CINV=24576,MAXRBA=7372800,VOL=PRSL
 ABOVE FUNCTION ENDED ON NORMAL EOD                                       RC=0 
                                                                               
   RECORDS-READ=178   



Thank you in advance.

VSAM files do not have columns. DB2 tables have columns.

sorry Nic for the confusion.
I actually meant the positions.
Is it possible to specify the POSITIONS and perform COMPARE through TALLY ?

Thanks,
Jasand.

Its all in the manual :

File-AID/MVS Batch Reference Manual


$$DD01 TALLY IF=(10,EQ,C’90’),ACCUM=(16,’TOTALS 1990’),
IF=(6,EQ,C’08’),IF=(10,EQ,C’90’),ACCUM=(16,’AUGUST 1990’)

This example locates any record that has a value of 90 in locations 10 and 11, and
accumulates the packed field that begins in location 16. If locations 6 and 7 contain a
value of 08, File-AID takes a second accumulation. After execution, the resulting
accumulation totals are labeled TOTALS l990 and AUGUST 1990 when printed on the
SYSTOTAL dataset.
