Hi all,
I am working on a requirement where in a variable - CSV mainframe DSN, I have last 2 bytes as a Comma (,) and a character - A,U,D.
I would like to ignore the comma and any characters that appear at the end.
Is it possible to achieve it thru Syncsort?
Sample Records:
| Code: |
UNKNOWN,DNAINGDEG,U
,UNKNOWN, ,U
UNKNOWN, ,A |
Expected Output
| Code: |
UNKNOWN,DNAINGDEG
,UNKNOWN,
UNKNOWN, |
|

| Yes. If you shift to the right to the maximum length, then blank out the last two characters and shift to the left. Look at JFY. |

Thanks, Bill
Your post helps.
Just an add on to my requirement, I need to filter my output files based on the last character - if it is A,U it should go to ADD output file and if it is D, it should go to DELETE file
Please correct my understanding, if on a wrong track:
1) Use INREC IFTHEN WHEN INIT - JFY=RIGHT, LENGTH = MAX LENGTH
2) OUTFIL FILES=ADD,INCLUDE=(MAX-LENGTH,1,CH,EQ,L(C'A',C'U')),
IFTHEN WHEN INIT, BUILD=(1, MAXLENGTH - 2, JFY=LEFT),
3) OUTFIL FILES=DEL,INCLUDE=(MAX-LENGTH,1,CH,EQ,L(C'D')),
IFTHEN WHEN INIT, BUILD=(1, MAXLENGTH - 2, JFY=LEFT) |

| If you have fixed-length records, that'll be close, but you BUILD not be needed. |

Hi,
As I am using VB input records, the sort fails with INREC SHORT RECORD |

| You'll need to post what you are running, easiest is to past the full sysout for the failing step. |

RECFM=VB
LRECL=50
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INREC FIELDS=(1,4,5,46,JFY=(SHIFT=RIGHT,LENGTH=46))
OUTFIL FILES=OUT,INCLUDE=(50,1,CH,EQ,C'A'),
OUTREC=(1,4,5,46,JFY=(VL)),FTOV |
SYSOUT:
| Code: |
| WER244A INREC - SHORT RECORD |

SORT FIELDS=COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
OVERLAY=(51:X)),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
OVERLAY=(5,46,JFY=(SHIFT=RIGHT,LENGTH=46))
OUTFIL FILES=OUT,INCLUDE=(50,1,CH,EQ,C'A'),
BUILD=(1,4,5,46,JFY=(VL)),FTOV |
I'm not sure what the VL means. Why are you trying to use FTOV? You haven't truncated the last two bytes in the OUTFIL, I thought you needed that. |

| Thanks Bill. Yes I do want to truncate the last 2 bytes. As this is just a test version of the Sort Card, I have retained it. I will reduce the length in BUILD statement bt 2 bytes. TA. |

VLTRIM |
OK, I've discovered what VL means (a variable-length field with trailing blanks dropped) and that it only works on OUTFIL with FTOV.
That doesn't mean you just add FTOV onto OUTFIL to make the VL work. FTOV converts Fixed-length-record TO Variable-length-records. So you'd need to have fixed-length input you wanted as variable-length output. So you can't use FTOV here, so you can't use VL on JFY. In this case it will make the JFY not do what you want, even if it did "work".
When you want to drop the last two, use 5,44 in the final BUILD. |
