Hello Experts,

I know how to find number of records in single file using

Code:
SORT FIELDS=COPY
  OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
   TRAILER1=('No of records: ',COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=8))




But Is there any way i can find no of recods present in multiple files ?

Means i have 5 files and i want to find no of records present in each of them in single output file and in only one step in jcl.


Like if my 1st files has 15000 records,2 file has 17000,3rd -->20000 , 4th-->50000 and 5th -->10000.Then my output should be like below


Code:
15000
17000
20000
50000
10000


Please provide your suggestion on this

guys i got the solution

Sorry for not doing enough research

here is my working code using ICETOOL

Code:
//TOOLIN  DD *
 COPY FROM(IN01) TO(OUT) USING(CT01)
 COPY FROM(IN02) TO(OUT) USING(CT02)
//CT01CNTL DD *
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
   TRAILER1=(COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=5))

//CT02CNTL DD *
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
   TRAILER1=(COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=5))

Why don't you just use ICETOOL's COUNT operator?

Thank you very much bill for suggestion

ICETOOL Count is working much faster than earlier one


Code:
//TOOLIN  DD *
  COUNT FROM(IN01) USING(CTL1) WRITE(OUT) DIGITS(8)
  COUNT FROM(IN02) USING(CTL2) WRITE(OUT) DIGITS(8)
  COUNT FROM(IN03) USING(CTL3) WRITE(OUT) DIGITS(8)
  COUNT FROM(IN04) USING(CTL4) WRITE(OUT) DIGITS(8)
  COUNT FROM(IN05) USING(CTL5) WRITE(OUT) DIGITS(8)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
  INCLUDE COND=ALL
/*
//CTL2CNTL DD *
  INCLUDE COND=ALL

You don't need the USINGs, either. I've never actually seen COND=ALL being used. INCLUDE COND=ALL is identical to having no INCLUDE at all.

The very most efficient way (used to be the standard way) is to always count the records whenever you process a file, and show them at the end. You then don't ever have to count them separately.

Then you match them to trailer counts, match between programs, match across systems, etc. All done "automatically" (by coding it) and ensuring records are lost or duplicated or added in error, etc.
