Hi

I have an input file in below format

Code:
pgmname
Date
  HEADER1            HEADER2        HEADER3
 12345678             554579           TOTAL AMOUT SOLD
 12365789             559870           ALREADY SOLDOUT
......
TOTAL NO OF RECORDS:100


I need an output file in sorted order of only HEADER3

OUTPUT :

Code:
pgmname
Date
  HEADER1            HEADER2        HEADER3
 12345678             554579           ALREADY SOLDOUT
 12365789             559870           TOTAL AMOUT SOLD
.......
TOTAL NO OF RECORDS:100



I am using the below sort logic but its not working

Code:
OPTION COPY
OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(05,3,CH,EQ,C'ICN',OR,01,5,CH,EQ,C'TOTAL'),
HIT=NEXT)

Can anyone help me on this ?

If you're with DFSORT, please check DATASORT Operator of ICETOOL.

Your post is in TSO/ISPF part of the Forum, you show some input without BBcode - which makes it hard to comprehend your example , you ask for a SORT solution without telling what sort-product is in use at your shop?

It's quarter to nine in the office.

janmejay,

You only showed a snippet of your control statements (one IFTHEN). How are we supposed to know what the rest of your control statements look like? You didn't even show your SORT statement.

Assuming you want to sort the data only on the third field and leave the 3 header records and 1 trailer record where they are, you can use DATASORT as previously suggested. Here's the DFSORT/ICETOOL job:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICETOOL                                       
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*                                           
//DFSMSG  DD SYSOUT=*                                           
//IN DD *                                                       
pgmname                                                         
Date                                                             
  HEADER1            HEADER2        HEADER3                     
 12345678             554579        TOTAL AMOUT SOLD             
 12365789             559870        ALREADY SOLDOUT             
 12365786             559873        MIDDLE RECORD               
TOTAL NO OF RECORDS:100                                         
//OUT DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//TOOLIN DD *                                                   
DATASORT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) HEADER(3) TRAILER USING(CTL1)         
//CTL1CNTL DD *                                                 
  SORT FIELDS=(37,20,CH,A)                                       


OUT would have:

Code:

pgmname                                               
Date                                                   
  HEADER1            HEADER2        HEADER3           
 12365789             559870        ALREADY SOLDOUT   
 12365786             559873        MIDDLE RECORD     
 12345678             554579        TOTAL AMOUT SOLD   
TOTAL NO OF RECORDS:100                               


If that doesn't do what you want, then you need to do a better job of explaining exactly what it you do want.

You need to get rid of the headers/trailer. Sort the data. Put the headers/trailer back.

Maybe a JOINKEYS? Same file on the two inputs for the join. In one CNTL you exclude the headers/trailers, the other exclude the data. Have a "sequence" for the headers/trailer, looks like you only need one byte, C'9' for trailer. For data, set to C'5'. Join on that field and your sort key. For the header/trailer, specify that the file is already sorted and does not require sequence checking.

'S funny, as the version number you quote is for Syncsort.

Do you get messages which start WER in the output from sort steps?

OK, Syncsort it is. This topic's travels recommence.

Thinking about it, you just need to sort on one key which is sourced from two different places.

For data records, sort on your third field. For header, a sequence number appended to some very low hexadecimal value. For trailer, a high hexadecimal value.

janmejay,

Try this one...

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=SORT                                           
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

    TRAILER2=(C'TOTAL NO OF RECORDS:  ',COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=3))

the TS was asked here
ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=44883&highlight=
about the sort product in use in his organization,
but he did not care to reply

Usually when I see some topics I look at the TS profile, to see his/her way of doing things,
and... yes, the behavior does not change

Only thing I don't like about the solution is this: the value for total is generated from the actual data records. If the original total is wrong, no-one will ever know...

May be a typo error from your end. It should be &DATENS=(MDY) . Not &DATEN=(MDY).

How about posting your cards and the messages? Much easier than to-and-fro.

Hi Bodatrinadh

I am using the same code as you mentioned.
INCLUDE COND=(1,1,CH,EQ,C' ',&,2,8,FS,EQ,NUM)
OUTFIL REMOVECC,BUILD=(1,80),HEADER2=(C'PGMNAME',/,C'DATE',/,
03:C'HEADER1',22:C'HEADER2',37:C'HEADER3'),
TRAILER2=(C'TOTAL NO OF RECORDS: ',COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=3))
SORT FIELDS=(37,25,CH,A)

now instead of C'DATE' , now I am using &DATENS=(MDY). but its showing WER118A SORTOUT ILLEGAL OVERLAPPING FIELDS .

should we need to use overlay parameter
