My input file looks like -

Code:
HEADER
CUSTOMER1....................................
MAILING.............a.........................
a
b
c
CUSTOMER2....................................
MAILING........................................
a
b
c
CUSTOMER3....................................
MAILING.......................b...............
a
b
c
CUSTOMER4
MAILING.................................c.....
a
b
c
CUSTOMER5
MAILING.......................................
a
b
c
RQSTCNTL999999999....................
CUSTOMER6
MAILING.......................................
a
b
c
CUSTOMER7
MAILING....................a.................
a
b
c
RQSTCNTL888888888....................
TRAILER


Please see the description of above input file
1. after the header till RQSTCNTL is one group for a request
2. within a group of request, starting from CUSTOMER record till next CUSTOMER is a group for each customer
3. each customer has mailing record which may have value at fixed opsition let's say 35, 40 & 45


Now the requirement is -
1. I need to keep the header and trailer as it is.
2. I need to SORT it by RQSTCNTL (in this case goup of second RQSTCNT should come first since it has RQSTCNTL as 888888888).
3. Once it's sorted by RQSTCNTL (as a group) I need to SORT the customers based on the mailing record (position 35, 40 & 45)


Please see the sorted output -


Code:
HEADER
CUSTOMER6
MAILING.......................................
a
b
c
CUSTOMER7
MAILING....................a.................
a
b
c
RQSTCNTL888888888....................
CUSTOMER2....................................
MAILING........................................
a
b
c
CUSTOMER5
MAILING.......................................
a
b
c
CUSTOMER1....................................
MAILING.............a.........................
a
b
c
CUSTOMER3....................................
MAILING.......................b...............
a
b
c
CUSTOMER4
MAILING.................................c.....
a
b
c
RQSTCNTL999999999....................
TRAILER


Please note that Customer records have CUSTOMER (it's not unique, I just made it to avoid any confusion).

trilokdewangan,

The following DFSORT JCL will give you the desired results.

I assumed the following

1. Your input lrecl is 80 and recfm is FB
2. Every group has one RQSTCNTL in pos 1
3. Sorting of the customer data is identified by 'customer' in pos 1 and the sorting filed starts at pos 35 to 45 for a length of 11 bytes

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*     
//INA      DD DSN=Your input FB 80 lrecl file,DISP=SHR
//INB      DD DSN=Same input FB 80 lrecl file,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSIN    DD *                                                       
  JOINKEYS F1=INA,FIELDS=(81,8,A),SORTED,NOSEQCK                       
  JOINKEYS F2=INB,FIELDS=(01,8,A),SORTED,NOSEQCK                       
  JOIN UNPAIRED,F1                                                     
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,80,F2:9,9)                                     
 
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,BEGIN=(1,7,CH,EQ,C'CUSTOMER'),             
        PUSH=(90:35,11)),                                             
  IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,6,CH,EQ,C'HEADER'),OVERLAY=(81:20C'0')),             
  IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,7,CH,EQ,C'TRAILER'),OVERLAY=(81:20X'FF'))           
 
  SORT FIELDS=(81,20,CH,A),EQUALS
  OUTREC BUILD=(1,80)
//*                                   
//JNF1CNTL DD *                                                       
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,END=(1,8,CH,EQ,C'RQSTCNTL'),PUSH=(81:ID=8))
//*
//JNF2CNTL DD *                                                       
  INCLUDE COND=(1,8,CH,EQ,C'RQSTCNTL')                                 
  INREC BUILD=(SEQNUM,8,ZD,9,9)                                       
//*

Thanks Kolusu.

I tried to run this in my shop but stuck with JCL error with :

"NO SORTIN DD STATMENT PROVIDED."

Is that possible to display following information at the same time into another file -

REQUEST# - (the list - starting from 9, length 9 of RQSTCNTL record)
NUMBER OF RECORDS : total records
NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS = count of CUSTOMER records
NUMBER OF REQUESTS = Number of RQSTCNTL records.

(Input file has LRECL = 2000, FB, Mailing records ("MAILING") sorting records start:343, length 32)

You need to show me the complete SYSOUT messages so that I can determine the error

Yes it is possible but I need to see the level of DFSORT you are running.

Run the following sample job and show me the complete SYSOUT listing

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
RECORD
/*
//SORTOUT DD DUMMY
//SYSIN   DD   *
  OPTION COPY
/*

From the messages posted You are Using Syncsort

Synsort and DFSORT are competitive products
Kolusu is a DFSORT Developer...
He will be glad to answer and solve issues on DFSORT!
You cannot expect Him to provide assistance on a competitor's product icon_biggrin.gif

trilokdewangan,

Here's a SYNCTOOL (untested) equivalent of Kolusu's above solution.
I have modified it as per the file attributes and field positions mentioned in your latest post.
Code:
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SYNCTOOL   
//TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*

//CTL3JNF1 DD DSN=&T1,DISP=(,PASS),UNIT=SYSDA
//CTL3JNF2 DD DSN=&T2,DISP=(,PASS),UNIT=SYSDA
//OUT      DD DSN= Output FB 2000 lrecl file
//TOOLIN   DD *
  COPY FROM(INA)      TO(CTL3JNF1) USING(CTL1)

  SORT FROM(CTL3JNF1) TO(OUT)      USING(CTL3)
//CTL1CNTL DD *

Code:
BEGIN=(1,7,CH,EQ,C'MAILING')
might need to be changed to
Code:
BEGIN=(1,8,CH,EQ,C'CUSTOMER')
I am not sure what significance the 'MAILING' records have here.

When I execute excluding below SORT
Code:
SORT FIELDS=(2001,41,CH,A),EQUALS                                     
  OUTREC BUILD=(1,2000)     


I see the mailing record's detail doesn't overlayed to customer record (Position from 2010 length = 32) this is why after sorting, CUSTOMER records are misplaced. Here is the screen of output file from position 2010 (from Position 2010, first 9 - RQSTCNTL, rest are MAILING records Length 32) without the final sort (above) {first record - HEADER, 2nd - CUSTOMER, 3rd -MAILING, rest are the records from group}

Code:
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Do we need JOINKEY for MAILING records as well ?

Hello,

I don't have any way to test this but what happens if you change this:
Code:
  SORT FROM(CTL3JNF1) TO(OUT)      USING(CTL3)
to:
Code:
  COPY FROM(CTL3JNF1) TO(OUT)      USING(CTL3)
then remove the problem "SORT" statement. . .

I seem to recall that a SORT cannot be specified within a COPY (but i could be confused).

Hi Dick,

I got busy over the week and could not check the forums. AFAIK JOINKEYS do need a SORT rather than a COPY.

trilokdewangan,

The SYNCTOOL job provided earlier assumes that the CUSTOMER record has the field (343,32) by which you want to sort each CUSTOMER group within an RQST group. But it seems like this is not what you want here. You need to explain clearly the sorting rule to be followed here.

Does CUSTOMER record have the field with which the CUSTOMER groups have to be sorted?
If not, is it the 'MAILING' record which has this field?
Is there only a single 'MAILING' record per 'CUSTOMER' group?
