Hi,

My input is
3000ABC 176579
3000ABC 677856
3000ABC 987547
2000QWE 097580
2000QWE 457900

Can we use sort jcl to get desired output like this -
3000ABC 176579 677856 987547
2000QWE 097580 457900

Also, if then are there any constraints?

Thanks,
Deepti

Yes, you can - for a limited number of rows.

What did you try yet?

If there are any constraints, you can either ignore them, or take them into account - depending on your own needs. We have no info about them.

No - for the simple reason that JCL does not manipulate data. However, you might be able to use the sort program if you use the correct sort control statements.
