A) Why have you not used the code tags?
B) Why have you not shown the control statements that did not work? Without them we do not know what you tried and therefore we do not know how to fix them.

It’s been 15 years for you on the forum and don’t use the code tags. In your last post I requested you to use it but you did not act on that , this is another post and you did the same . Going forward go to the Rules on the top section and it is explained how to use the code tags.

Similar question has been asked so many times in past , did you search before posting if not then please do some research and you will get the answer why it’s not working.

There is something exists called IFTHEN=GROUP,KEYBEGIN=(),.. PUSH=() use that and BUILD the record in next IFTHEN.
Or use a JOINKEYS and reformat.

1. As long as no code is presented here you cannot expect any help from the forum.

2. You have no time in your “hurry” to demonstrate your problem in a clear and accurate manner. Why do you suppose others do have more of their own time to help you?

Where is your code?

People can point to your mistakes, but not do your own job instead of you.

Hint: you need to use IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP option.

Must be hard to code an INREC and three IFTHEN statements to achieve the desired result. This request is for the Beginners Forum. icon_rolleyes.gif

Have another change with this same requirements. Trying to cut the description to 2nd line and copying the key values as like below. But instead of coming as 2nd line, it continued on same line. Used '/', it gave syntax error.

 SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                     
 INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,KEYBEGIN=(1,21),PUSH=(101:24,26,130:57,23)),
       IFTHEN=(WHEN=(24,26,CH,EQ,101,26,CH),BUILD=(1,200)),           
       IFTHEN=(WHEN=(24,1,CH,EQ,C'-'),BUILD=(1,23,101,26,50,36)),     
       IFTHEN=(WHEN=(57,1,CH,NE,C' '),BUILD=(1,23,101,26,24,33,83,2)),

bshkris,

Your continuing questions only prove that you do not want to really understand the ideas given by responders. You just blindly copy-and-paste the provided code with no intention to get into it. Furthermore, there are no intentions to read any manual.

Otherwise you would easily find out the problem with your new “requirement”.

I personally refuse to help to the “experts” like yourself.

In that case you should post your sort questions in the beginners forum - same as I did when I was working.

When you post something , make sure you post the right input data else we all are wasting our time. You have not once shared the actual input data but claiming out put data should look like this or that. How on earth anyone can predict that?
As suggested please learn Synsort and you have got enough help to get going forward.

Try something relevant by doing research and reading the manuals , post back with error and then some one could help you. This way you could learn.

Thank you all. Finally i made it by using another step using similar IFTHEN ,WHEN conditions. this time learned some thing new and coming out some fear of SORT JCL code.
Will surely do more experiments, and make myself comfortable using SORT JCL.

Thanks.

First of all, you need finally to understand, that SORT code has absolutely nothing to do with JCL code... icon_eek.gif

Sort JCL is really simple. Here is an example:
Code:
 
//TEST1    EXEC PGM=your sort program name/alias
//SORTIN   DD  DSN=...
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=...          (no DCB required)     
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSIN    DD *                                                       
 sort CONTROL statements go here

The TS might be surprised, but SORT code can be (and often is) used without any JCL code at all... 358.gif
