Hi,

I have a file of length 80. The requirement is to check

1.if the 1st 9 bytes of the file. If there are duplicates then check the next set of 9 bytes (10-18). If that also matches, then it should be written into Output file F1.
2. If there are no duplicates in the 1-9 bytes of the file, then also it should be written into Output file F1.
3. If the bytes 1-9 are same and 10-18 are different, then it needs to be written into Output File F2.

Currently am planning to have 2 Sort Steps.

Step 1
Filter out all duplicate records (on 1-9 bytes) from Input file using ICETOOL - ALLDUPS (Output file F2).
Non Duplicate records pushed into Output file F1

Step 2
Sort the output of Step 1 on bytes 1-9 and 10-18. If there are duplicates, i write into Output file F1 (using MOD)
If they don't match, then write into Output file F3.

Can these 2 steps be clubbed into one single step

Thanks
Sikkandhar

Your explanation is pretty vague for me

Can you please post your requirement with sample data ?

The input file looks like

Code:
A123456782012121
A123456782012121
A123456782012121
B123456782012121
B123456782012121
B123456782012122
C123456782012121
D123456782012121



The 1st 3 records, has same value in 1-18 bytes, so it has to be written into Output file F1 (Requirement 1 in the above post).

Records 4 through 6, has same value for 1st 9 bytes (B12345678), but the next 9 bytes have different value. Hence it has to be written into Output file F2 (Requirement 3 in the above post).

In Last 2 reocrds, there are no duplicate values for the bytes 1 through 9, hence it needs to be written into Output file F1 (Requirement 2 in the above post).

Your description is still confusing ...

looks like You want to process not single records but groups of records

and ... when You post data/jcl use the code tags ,
they preserve the spacing and provide better readability

Column 1 - 9   Column 10 -18
A12345678   2012121
A12345678   2012121
A12345678   2012121

B12345678   2012121
B12345678   2012121
B12345678   2012122
B12345678   2012122

C12345678   2012121
D12345678   2012121


The first 9 bytes (1-9) are Account numbers and the next set (10-19) are dates.

My Output file F1 should not contain duplicate accounts (.i.e. There should be only one record for Account number - date combination). Records 8 and 9 meet this requirement.

If there are multiple records with the same Account number and Same date (records 1 through 3 meet this requirement), then that should also be considered .i.e. Records 1 to 3 should be written into Output file F1

If there are multiple records with same account number but if the dates are different (records 4 through 7 meet this requirement. There are different dates for the same Account number), Then all these four records should be written into a separate Output file F2.

What is your sort product and level ?

To check please execute the below code and let us know the SYSOUT message

Code:
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*

WER messages belong to Syncsort
ICE messages belong to DFSORT

Syncsort questions should be posted in JCL forum

This forum belongs to only DFSORT queries

do You realize that records 8 and 9 fall under the same case as records 1 and 3

write to file two when an account <group> contains different dates
write to file one otherwise

learn the KISS principle ==> Keep It Simple Sam

Well, i'm confused icon_confused.gif

Please post what the output should be for the sample input data posted.

Hi All,

I was able to solve the above issue. Used below control card

Assume the below to be the Input File contents

Code:
Column 1 - 9   Column 10 - 16
A12345678   2012121
A12345678   2012121
A12345678   2012121

B12345678   2012121
B12345678   2012121
B12345678   2012122
B12345678   2012123

C12345678   2012121
D12345678   2012121


The first SELECT statement segregates Duplicate Account numbers (into FIle 3) and Unique Account numbers into File 2

The Second SELECT statement analyzes the File 3 (which contains the Duplicate Account numbers) on Account number and Date. If there are duplicate records on with same Account number and Date, it is moved to Output File F2. Rest (same Account number but different dates) are moved to Output File F1

Since I have used Disposition as MOD for File F2, i am copying contents of File 2 to File 4

So in the Above case

File F1 would contain

Code:
Column 1 - 9   Column 10 - 16
B12345678   2012122
B12345678   2012123


File 3

Column 1 - 9 Column 10 - 16
Code:
A12345678   2012121
A12345678   2012121
A12345678   2012121

B12345678   2012121
B12345678   2012121
B12345678   2012122
B12345678   2012123


File 4

Code:
Column 1 - 9   Column 10 - 16
A12345678   2012121
A12345678   2012121
A12345678   2012121
B12345678   2012121
B12345678   2012121
C12345678   2012121
D12345678   2012121

Why the BUILDs? Are you reducing the length of records? If you are, all records should be 238 after the first SELECT. Three outputs from the first SELECT? In the second SELECT OUT3 as input and output?

Did you try the two-step approach you were considering? How does it do in terms of resources compared to this?
