Hi All,

i have one file my file has 3 rows please see below.



Code:
 ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
 VIEW       ALT0.Q.NDVR.INTERNAL.ETT2             
 Command ===>                                     
 ****** ***************************** Top of Data *
 000100 P125029      ----represend job nanem                             
 000200 QSYS          ----represent environment                             
 000300 0202248      ------RITM nbr                             
 ****** **************************** Bottom of Data



using this file want to create a file wihc name should look like below

ALT0.Q.NDVR.INTERNAL.ETT2.RITM

if above is the input file my output file would look like below
ALT0.Q.NDVR.INTERNAL.ETT2.0202248

IF you notice in my output file RITM nbr should append at the end of my out put file which i have in my input file RITM nbr 3rd row.

Is this possible this is my first requirment is there any way i can create my output file like this having RITM nbr at the end appended...? Please help me.

Using any SORT-like product for this task is possible, but would look as a kink. Anyway, it can be done by any IT student who has passed 1-2 years in a college, otherwise he might be expelled.

My grandkid is 18 years old - he can easily do this task.

The best solution (in mainframe environment) would be REXX, I guess.

First of all in a Data set name, each qualifier must begin with an alphabetic character (A to Z) or the special character @, #, or $.

Quote:
Data set naming rules

A data set name consists of one or more parts connected by periods. Each part is called a qualifier.
Each qualifier must begin with an alphabetic character (A to Z) or the special character @, #, or $.
The remaining characters in each qualifier can be alphabetic, special, or numeric (0 to 9) characters.
Each qualifier must be 1 to 8 characters in length.
The maximum length of a complete data set name before specifying a member name is 44 characters, including the periods.


Next you need to find a pattern to identify RITM numbers. Will you always have the RITM numbers in the 3rd record, starting from col 1, always of 7 digits etc.

Then you can build a solution using SORT, REXX or a combination of both.

You can either write a two step JCL: Step 1 - Using DFSORT to generates a job (SORTOUT) that allocates the data set names you want using IEFBR14 and Step 2 - use IEBGENER to submit the job created in Step1(SORTOUT) via the Internal Reader (INTRDR) or you can write a REXX program.

Another method is: you can use SORT to generate an IDCAMS ALLOCATE SYSIN card (Sample Card):
Code:
  ALLOC FI(OUT) DA('ALT0.Q.NDVR.INTERNAL.ETT2.R0000001') -
        DSORG(PS) RECFM(F B) LRECL(80) -
        SPACE(1 1) TRACKS NEW CATALOG REUSE
  ALLOC FI(OUT) DA('ALT0.Q.NDVR.INTERNAL.ETT2.R0000002') -
        DSORG(PS) RECFM(F B) LRECL(80) -
        SPACE(1 1) TRACKS NEW CATALOG REUSE
......
......
......
  ALLOC FI(OUT) DA('ALT0.Q.NDVR.INTERNAL.ETT2.R000000n') -
        DSORG(PS) RECFM(F B) LRECL(80) -
        SPACE(1 1) TRACKS NEW CATALOG REUSE

And then run IDCAMS using the above SYSIN Card.

I guess it has been explained a couple of times that, providing information from a dataset to allocate new datasets with the information from there is not the technique z/OS is famous for.

Did you know that none version of SORT would be able to create a dataset (since files do not exist at all in zOS/MVS)?

SORT might help you to create the DSNAME (dataset name) itself, as a text string data.

In zOS creation of any DATASET can be done only in those ways:
- using DISP=NEW parameter in DD statement of JCL,
- using control statements for IDCAMS system utility,
- using some dynamic allocation tools/functions, available in some programming languages, including REXX, COBOL, C/C++. Assembler, PL/I, others.

SORT cannot do this part of your job for you.

You can find many examples here

P.S. They are only examples. You cannot find a ready-to-use code suitable exactly for your own job.

Try to do at least something by yourself, before begging others.

I tried the search in DFSORT forum by keyword BUILD.
This is the result:
Search found 415 matches: BUILD

I recommend you to look through those 415 topics, since you don't want to RTFM.

You can write a simplle COBOL program and prep the SDSORT Card with target DS name and submit another JCL using INTRDR,*
