As the files doesn't have any common key. what I understand your requirement is - You need to put Pos 1,10 from file2 with pos 11,20 of file1.

IS the number of records in both files same?

The below steps you can follow to get the desired results.

1. Write a sort step to add a sequence number to file 1
2. Write a sort step to add a sequence number to file 2
3. Write a sort step to join the above created file1 and file2 on sequence number and use OUTREC/REFORMAT fields to get the desired output file.

Hope this helps. icon_smile.gif

Hello,
To determine the PTF level, run the below job
Code:
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=* 
//SORTIN DD *           
RECORD                 
/*                     
//SORTOUT DD DUMMY     
//SYSIN   DD   *       
  OPTION COPY           
/*                     

If you see ICE201I H RECORD TYPE ... message on SYSOUT then you are on latest PTF October 2010.

For more information on determining the DFSORT level, see:

ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=33389

Hope it helps.

But We have DFSORT also installed in our system - as when we do load replace/Reorg on a Table - Then we see

Code:

Can you please tell me - When I use PGM=SORT - Then how can i specify to use DFSORT or SYNCSORT?

You have it, but there is no provision to use it on its own

DB2 installs its own copy of DFSORT for db2 internal use

1) db2 sort processing is optimized and tested for DFSORT
2) as a side concern in case of misbehavior no fighting about it' s Your sort, no it's Your DB2

see for details

as I said before You are not using DFSORT in Your JCL streams
You are using the SORT product licensed to Your organization !
the functions available should be checked against the manuals of the product used

/repeat on
DFSORT is there but only used internally by DB2
it is not available for general use

did You care to read and understand the document in the link provided ?
everything is explained there very very accurately

DB2 does NOT install DFSORT. DB2 proper uses its own internal sort. DB2 Utilities uses DFSORT regardless of whether the site is licensed for DFSORT or not.

When you specify PGM=SORT, the primary sort product at your site is invoked. If your primary sort product is DFSORT, then DFSORT will be used. If your primary sort product is Syncsort, then Syncsort will be used.

Some sites have one sort product installed as the primary sort and the other sort product installed in private libraries. In that case, if you know which private libraries the other sort product is installed in (your System Programmers should know), you can JOBLIB or STEPLIB to those libraries to invoke the other sort product.

But I suspect your site is only licensed for Syncsort, so you can't use DFSORT via PGM=SORT.
