Hi,

I am having a File which is having name followd by Deliminator followed by customer number and I want to sort this based on customer number using SYNCSORT I have tried "PARSE" but I am getting SYNTAX error for ENDBFER :


Code:

 INREC PARSE=(%=(ENDBFER=C'|'),   
                 *                 





Input

Code:

|VISHALBSHAH|#_1100000001        0000LGL         
|KHUDDAM-UL-ISLAM|#_0510000001        0001AKA     
|BUBLOO|#_0510000001        0002AKA

Sorry for that

found that Typo but still have not found the solution for sorting

Could you please consider the input as i mentioned above and suggest the control statement I should use

input file is of 200 length and it contains "|" "name" "|" "customer number"

I want to sort on the customer number.

what do your control cards look like,
what error are you getting,
what don't you understand.

do not answer the last, until you have cut and pasted the answers for items 1 and 2.

one way would on the

sort 201,?,CH,A

inrec side,

parse %=STARTAFT=C'|'),
%00=STARTAFT=C'|',ENDBEFR='|',fixlen=?
build=1,200,%01

outrec side
build=1,200

? is what ever maxlength you want the customer number to be.

have to jazz-up the syntax.
the purpose of the % is to start the parse pointer,%00 points to the customer number.
read thru Bill Woodgar's posts, he posted a lot of good info about this
very subject (that you would have found, had you looked) last week or so.

Hi,

I am using the "PARSE" very first time , the example I am looking in the manual provide a way to produce a file with fixed positions , but i don't want to produce a different file layout all I want is the input file should be sorted on base of customer number and i am unsure about it's position in each record.

I know only the variable file layout which is "|" "name" "|" "customer number"

input :

Code:

|VISHALBSHAH|#_1100000001        0000LGL           
|KHUDDAM-UL-ISLAM|#_0510000001        0001AKA     
|BUBLOO|#_0510000001        0002AKA               
|BABOO|#_0510000001        0003AKA                 
|VICKYBSHAH|#_1100000001        0001AKA           
|VICKYBSHAH|#_1100000002        0000LGL           
|VICKYBSHAH|#_1100000002        0001AKA           


I need to sort this based on customer number

I am trying to follow manual here which suggest I can remove the 1st and second "|" with (%=(ENDBEFR=C'|') but I am not sure what should i write in the SORT FIELDS as I am not sure about the position of the customer number, as it varies from record to record.

I need output file as:

Code:


|KHUDDAM-UL-ISLAM|#_0510000001        0001AKA       
|BUBLOO|#_0510000001        0002AKA                 
|BABOO|#_0510000001        0003AKA                   
|VISHALBSHAH|#_1100000001        0000LGL             
|VICKYBSHAH|#_1100000001        0001AKA             
|VICKYBSHAH|#_1100000002        0000LGL             
|VICKYBSHAH|#_1100000002        0001AKA             


Could you please,suggest?
