Add comma at end of all records except the last
A customer asked the following question:
From DFSORT Tricks - OCT 2011

Can DFSORT insert a comma at the end of all of the records except the last one? For example, say I have a
file with the following three records:
Code:
'2008-07-22.00.37.44.297630'
'2008-07-22.00.37.44.297631'
'2008-08-05.00.40.02.167578'

and I want to write an output file like this:
Code:
'2008-07-22.00.37.44.297630',
'2008-07-22.00.37.44.297631',
'2008-08-05.00.40.02.167578'

How can I do that?
You can use the DATASORT operator of DFSORT's ICETOOL to do this quite easily. Here's the job:
Code:
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN DD *
'2008-07-22.00.37.44.297630'
'2008-07-22.00.37.44.297631'
'2008-08-05.00.40.02.167578'
/*
//OUT DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLIN DD *
DATASORT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) LAST USING(CTL1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
  INREC OVERLAY=(29:C',')
  SORT FIELDS=(1,1,CH,A)
/*


Can the same be achieved using Syncsort?

Hello,

If you have the current release of Syncsort (1.4 or MFX), try it. . .

If there are questions/problems, post a reply including the informational messages generated by the run.

Hi Dick,

It is working fine on Syncsort. But I wanted to know how this can be achieved using SORT (Syncsort). Our shop doesn't use ICETOOL.

"Can this ICETOOL code from the DFSORT tricks manual work on vanilla SyncSort (no "tool")?"

FYI..
Yes, the job was submitted using the SYNCTOOL. As dick has mentioned version 1.4 & above supports the near DFSORT command, but not all.

In the spool, you can find the relative information on Utility used.

Code:
PGM=ICETOOL
needs to be coded, SYNCTOOL will be invoked , performs the operation.

I wanted to know, If this can be converted to PGM=SORT than PGM=ICETOOL.

As in our shop we use only SORT and No ICETOOL

And I was trying to state gylbharat's question as a clarification.

I'll try again. Remember, it is mostly out of interest only.

There is a task in the DFSORT Tricks manual which is performed with ICETOOL.

At a "shop" which has a ban on ICETOOL (may be an Alias)/SYNCTOOL can the same result be achieved just using the plain SORT (SyncSort).

PS. gylbharat, sorry for spelling your name wrong the other day.

Hi,

if you want to use just SORT, this might help

Code:
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                                         
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*

Hi,

another way of achieving it and it's simpler with no sorting required
Code:
//STEP0001  EXEC PGM=SORT                                               
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*
