Well, enough, I think. You are a Consultant. I suggest you write a program to do it, or order someone at your site to do it. I don't think anyone is going to toss any more solutions at you, just on the off-chance that they'll work at your site.
No.. I don't have manual. Please someone have please share it with us.
a forum is not a tool meant to fix poor organization issues
the syncsort manuals are available to organizations licensed for their product
they are not available on the net
syncsort manuals are copyrighted material and as such they cannot be posted ( made publicly available ) anywhere nor privately provided by anybody
if You had cared to do a bit of forum surfing You would have found that
in many topics where the TS complained about the lack of syncsort manuals
Alissa Margulis was available to take actions in order to provide them!
search the forums and You will find the Alissa' s contact email address
like for example in ...

On a little soft side I'd say -- Since there is only limited information here, if the problem is reproducible, then please add the following JCL to the step in question and rerun the job:

You do mean Easytrieve Plus? Not Easytrieve 9.0D which has been out of maintenance for years?
:-)
With the built-in file matching, should be no problem. You'd have done it by now if you'd not stuck to trying this sort solution with functions not in your product....

Hello,
Why the continuing attempts with this out of data release?
Quote:
SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.1DR TPF3
Release 1.1 has never supported JOINKEYS and i suspect never will. If the organization is so unwilling to keep critical system software reasonable current, they deserve all of the problems and lost time they get. . .
What is wanted for this is a 2-file match/merge (or line-balance as is sometimes known).
It can be very easily done in Easytrieve or COBOL (as long as there is some kind of experienced (anyone more experienced than a student) coder available to work on it).

Hello,
Quote:
I think the sort fields should start from position 3 not from position 1.
What we think has little to do with trying to use functions NOT supported in a product/release. Until TS oganization upgrades the sort product, JOINxxxx is NOT going to happen.
And the code is in the proper positions. As Bill mentioned, using the Code tag is most helpful for all of us who would like to help.
