Hi ,

My requirement is to extract records based on grouping key which should be
equal to 3 records, should not pick any other records having grouping > 3
or <3.


Key Recd

a 1
a 1
a 1
a 1
a 1
b 2
b 2
b 2
c 3
c 3
c 3
d 4
d 4

Desired Output

b 2
b 2
b 2
c 3
c 3
c 3

I used the following sort card but it fetched records grouped in 1,2 & 3.
I need only records grouped in 3.
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,4,BI,A,5,10,D)
INREC=(1:31,32:SEQNUM,3,ZD,RESTART=(1,4))
OUTFIL FILES=OUT,BUILD=(1:31,32,ZD,LT,+4)

Use JOINKEYS with the same dataset for both input files. Join on your key.

In JNF2CNTL use INREC to set up a record (WHEN=INIT and BUILD containng the key and a count of one which is big enough for the greatest number of multiple keys that you can have.

Use SUM FIELDS= for the count field.

If your input is sorted, specify SORTED,NOSEQCHK on the F1 JOINKEYS.

Define a REFORMAT record which has your entire F1 record plus the summed count from F2.

Use OPTION COPY for the main task.

Use OUTFIL INCLUDE= for the summed count on the reformat being equal to three, and use BUILD= to cut the summed count off the record.

N.Nirmal Raj,

Use SELECT operator with EQUAL(3) and you will get the desired results.

for your sample data assuming the key is the first 1 byte then use the following toolin
Code:

//TOOLIN   DD *                               
  SELECT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(1,1,CH) EQUAL(3)
//*


The output from the above is keys b and c
