I have a sort card as follows:
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD*
OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=(5,100,SS,EQ,C'LAB')
/*
|
Can the character LAB be made dynamic; can we pass parameters for the constant via JCL? is there any way to acheive this? |

You can use DFSORT's JPn function to do this kind of thing. For example:
| Code: |
// SET INP1='LAB'
//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=SORT,
// PARM='JP1"&INP1"'
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYMNOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=(5,100,SS,EQ,JP1)
/*
|
For complete information on using the JPn function, see:

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the late response. However, I get the following error. PLease help.
OPTION COPY,VLSCMP
INCLUDE COND=(5,24568,SS,EQ,JP1)
*
WER131I PARM FIELD ERROR - JP1"LAB"
WER253A INCLUDE/OMIT FORMATS INCOMPATIBLE
Note that the input files are of the format VB, hence the usage of VLSCMP. |

That is because you have Syncsort. You posted in the wrong forum. Consult your Syncsort documentation for possibilities of passing parameters or start thinking again of what youwant to actually achieve and how to do it.
Edit: Can you show your JCL please? |

Hello,
Suggest you post your complete JCL and sort control statements along with ALL of the messages generated by the problem run (using the Code tag). |

Follow on:
One way to do what you want would be to have a simple bit of code that would use the PARM and generate the INCLUDE statement - like:
| Code: |
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=yourboc,
// PARM='"&INP1"' |
would create:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=(5,100,SS,EQ,'JP1') |
in a dataset (possibly a member in some utility pds) and the sort execution SYSIN would look like
| Code: |
| //SYSIN DD DSN=MY.INCLUDE(MBR) |
The dataset name and member name would be of your choice, following your site standards. |

Pasting the JCL below: This gives the error as mentioned previously. Kindly help.

//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY,VLSCMP
INCLUDE COND=(5,24568,SS,EQ,JP1)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=IMS07PR.IMSI07B.DFSOLP00,DISP=SHR
//* DD DSN=IMS07PR.IMSI07B.DFSOLP01,DISP=SHR

Please use code tags... It makes the code more readable. |

Hi,
that's not a JCL error but a parameter error

Hi,
I'm fairly sure that SYNCSORT does not support symbolic parameters,
ie the function is not available in SYNCSORT.

The message you are getting is saying that you have passed a parameter that SyncSort does not understand as one of its own, so it looks like you can't do it that way. Your JP1 in the INCLUDE is just left as that, and is therefore invalid.
It would look like your best bet is along the lines of what Dick has already suggested. A small program to take the parameter. I'd suggest you then generate a card for a SYMNAME dataset, so you'd generate something like this from your small program, onto a sequential dataset (can be a member of a PDS):
| Code: |
Dynamic-Include-Value,C'place the parameter here in your program' |
Which should then appear, in your dataset, as:
| Code: |
Dynamic-Include-Value,C'LAB' |
Then in the Sort step
| Code: |
//SYMNAMES DD DSN=your dsn
//SYMNOUT DD SYSOUT=* |
The INCLUDE becomes:
| Code: |
| INCLUDE COND=(5,24568,SS,EQ,Dynamic-Include-Value) |
Try the following so that you understand how the sort will then work. Tested with DFSORT on with fileds for SYSIN data, you can test with your actual file and the original 5,some big number...
| Code: |
//STEPDYN EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD *
Dynamic-Include-Value,C'LAB'
//SORTIN DD *
TEST WITH LAB
TEST WITHOUT
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=(1,80,SS,EQ,Dynamic-Include-Value)
//*

| Check out also what Anuj has said. What version of Syncsort are you on? If an old one, is there any chance you get an upgrade soon? If a current one, hit the documentation. We missed all this earlier, while thinking it was a DFSORT question. |

what would be wrong in looking at the frigging manual Yourself ?!
forums are not a manual reading service...
parameter passing is explained quite well in the DFSORT manuals/documentation
I do not see any reason why it should not be explained ( if the facility exists ) in the SYNCSORT manuals/documentation
SYNCSORT manuals/documentation is available only to licensed customers
so we cannot do anything about it.
speak to Your support to have the manuals made available |

Hello,
Suggest you consider the alternative i posted previously - write a bit of code to take in the PARM and generate the SORT control as shown.
My previous post had a typo (missing quotes) and i've changed this  |

Tailgating is not good - neither at office-doors nor in threads. However, this thread is relatively new but you are not the OP. Said all that garbage, the same answer still goes well:
| Quote: |
| I'm not sure about SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.4 release however, till SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.3.2.2R symbolic parameters support is not available |
So what release of SyncSort are you at? |

I followed the alternative suggested by Bill Woodger and it fetched me the desired output.
Thank you! |
