Hi ,I am looking for some help. I have a variable block file.I am using 1st sort jcl step to convert file from VB to FB

Code:
//SYSIN DD *  *
        SORT FIELDS=COPY
        OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT,VTOF,OUTREC=(5,1200)
  END


and the 2nd sort step to create a TRAILER1

Code:
//SYSIN    DD *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
   TRAILER1=(1:DATENS=(4MD),9:TIMENS=(24),COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=10),
   25:TOT=(67,8,PD,TO=ZD,LENGTH=17))
  END


It works fine for me,but i am looking for suggestions on how this can be accomplished in one step.Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just put both parts together, and omit the NODETAIL keyword.
Code:
OPTION COPY                                                     
OUTFIL FNAMES=(SORTOUT),                                       
  REMOVECC,VTOF,                                     
  BUILD=(5,1200),                                               
  TRAILER1=(1:DATENS=(4MD),9:TIMENS=(24),COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=10),
            25:TOT=(67,8,PD,TO=ZD,LENGTH=17))                             
END

Actually, i do not need detail in the output.I just need the lrecl 41 trailer record in the output. So, i added nodetail back.

Code:
OPTION COPY
 OUTFIL FNAMES=(SORTOUT),
   REMOVECC,NODETAIL,VTOF,
   BUILD=(5,41),
   TRAILER1=(1:DATENS=(4MD),9:TIMENS=(24),COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=10),
   25:TOT=(67,8,PD,TO=ZD,LENGTH=17))
 END


For some reason now my total calculation abends.not sure why

Code:
6----+----7----+----8
*********************
           Ë m
000000000007192000000
00C000C0000384C000000
--------------------
              <

Code:
//            DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=1200,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN DD *
 OPTION COPY
 OUTFIL FNAMES=(SORTOUT),
   REMOVECC,NODETAIL,VTOF,
   BUILD=(5,1200),
   TRAILER1=(1:DATENS=(4MD),9:TIMENS=(24),COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=10),

Please check the offset for the TOT field, shouldn't this be 72 length 7 now?

Appreciate you help.It does work now.Just want to understand.The starting position is 72 now changed from 67.I understand that.but why do i need to change the length from 8 to 7?

Thanks.

My mistake, of course it's still length eight. Just verify that the beginning offset is correct. ABEND S0C7 means that PD fields could not be summed up, an indicator that length/offsets might be wrong.
