Hi all..
I read and tried almost all the syncsort tips here to filter out matching and non-matching recordsm but still facing some issues. Can u please help.
This is what i am trying to do.
Compare the list of unique records(input-fil1) with the corresponding field on “input file 2” and write the matching records to one output file and non- matching records to a second output file.

I am using SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.2.3.1R

Please post the code that you have tried with the results and we might be able to help you.
What are the issues that you are facing. You know, but we do not.

Unfortunately psychic day was Wednesday this week, so you are going to have to give us a whole load more information than you have so far.

DSORG, RECFM and LRECL of both files.
Position, length and format of the keys that you are comparing - from both files.
Are there duplicate key values in either of the files. If yes, what needs to be done to handle this situation.

Also, are ALL the on-matching records to go to the SAME output file?

//SORTJFN2 DD DSN=TEST.SORT.INPUT3,DISP=SHR
//SORTOF01 DD DSN=TEST.SORT.OUTPUNT,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(TRK,(350,200),RLSE)
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD *
      JOINKEYS FILES=F1,FIELDS=(1,5,A)
      JOINKEYS FILES=F2,FIELDS=(1,5,A)
      JOIN UNPAIRED,F1,ONLY
      REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,6)
      SORT FIELDS=COPY

You have three possible situations: F1 not on F2; F2 not on F1; Match.

What do you want to do in each situation?

Are their duplicate keys on either/both file(s)?

Are the input files already in key order?

If your LRECL is 5, why do you have 1,6 in your REFORMAT?

For the message, post the JCL from the spool for that step, and all the messages from the sysout for the step.

yes, the keys will be ordered.
Input file 1 (of lrecl 80) will a have list of numeric records of length 5
Input file 2 (of lrecl 80) will a have list of numeric records of length 5
(all the records in input file 2 will be unique)
This i am tryng to achieve:
Compare the list of unique records in f1 with the corresponding field on f2. and write the matching records to one output file and non- matching records to a second output file.
SYSOUT MESSAGES:
WER276B SYSDIAG= 103476, 381175, 381175, 463458

WER164B 16K BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 1,004K BYTES USED
WER146B 20K BYTES OF EMERGENCY SPACE ALLOCATED
WER478A A SORTJNF1 OR SORTJNF2 DD STATEMENT IS MISSING; BOTH ARE REQUIRED

Again, the message clearly states that the required DDNAMEs are SORTJNFx and not SORTJFNx

Hello,

So, why do you not have a SORTOUT DD ?

What does that error message tell you? If you don't apply yourself, nobody here will be able to help you.

If you really need to direct your output to SORTOF01, add this at the bottom of your control card.

Code:
OUTFIL FILES=01,BUILD=(1,6)
