Hi there,
I have one file that has more than one million records. In this file I have to modify three fields and there is one requirment to change sign of these three fields(make+ve to -ve and -ve to +ve).
Is there any way to do that via JCL or File Aid?
Please advise.
Thanks |

JCL -- absolutely not. You've been on this board over 3 years without reading, once, that JCL does nothing but execute programs? If you had asked if SORT could do this, or IEBGENER, or IDCAMS -- those are programs executed by JCL, and it is possible at least one of them could do this. But JCL, by itself? No way.
Furthermore, your post lacks crucial information -- are these three fields that need their sign reversed zoned decimal with an external sign? zoned decimal with internal sign? packed decimal? binary? floating point? |

I meant any JCL utility that could do this.
Binary. Please have a look below.

S9(8)V99.

would be something like jclscan, i.e. a utility that does something to jcl.
i'll not comment on the other silliness of your post. |

Hello,
Depending on the specifics (which you didn't post), you should be able to do this with your sort product.
Multiplying by -1 should accomplish what you want.
Depending on which sort product you use, there are probably examples here in the forum (DFSORT section for DFSORT and JCL section for Syncsort).
If you get stuck, post your issue and someone should be able to clarify. |

no, I MUST nothing.....
besides,
I post so that others reading your mistakes
know that what you have said is incorrect.
I had no illusions that you would see the error of your ways,
you are too busy trying to enforce what you think are Politically Correct Comments.
you have insulted everyone who spends at least enough time to use the correct terminology. |

Besides,
you could avoid receiving all this 'bad talk'
if you would just do what most everyone else on the planet does,
Read the Manuals
(there are lots of figures and pictures, too!)
instead of being lazy and asking questions on an internet website. |

| Subtract from zero. Unless you have millions and millions, maybe you won't notice. But if you do, you may. So I always subtract from zero. |
