Any one run of which (even with the 10,000-record example) will outweigh the costs of a "Mainframe" solution running every day for the next 15+ years. @Bill my both input files has approx 10000 records. The SORT, SUM and OUTREC statements are as follows: SORT FIELDS= (106,4,CH,A) SUM FIELDS= (162,4,BI,166,4,BI) OUTREC FIELDS= (106,4,162,4,166,4) Table 2 shows the output. Not the answer you're looking for? Also skills in Mainframe. IFTHEN clauses are processed in the following order: For this example, the IFTHEN clauses are processed as follows: PARSE fields using IFTHEN parameter : Click Here. appropriate record length and LRECL by not specifying WIDTH(n). john MONDAY 08000 Inputfile for SORT JCL 10 suresh 20000 01 20120203 34 20 NARENDRA 40000 06 20120925 AB 30 jacob A 25000 07 20111018 1A 40 RAMESH 34000 03 20120610 2C 50 Kishore 50000 02 . As you coded later, SFF should work depending on your release of Syncsort. Batch split images vertically in half, sequentially numbering the output files. count record length does not exceed a specific maximum (for example, BUILD gives you complete control over the items you want in your reformatted OUTREC records and the order in which they appear. However while writing to output file, two spaces will be added between fields at position 1-5 and 6-10. Hence, 10 records are written to output. Output file for SORT JCL - Assume the current date is - 4-Apr-2012. Batch split images vertically in half, sequentially numbering the output files. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. Unnecessary fields are eliminated from the output records using INREC or OUTREC. If clause 2 is not satisfied, its build items are not applied and processing continues. Each FILE DD has only 1 record from the below and all the records are copied to the sortout. . IFTHEN statements allow you to reformat different records in different ways by specifying how build or overlay items are to be applied to records that meet given criteria. C'THU',C'THURSDAY', - Statement SORT FIELDS=COPY, is used here to indicate that all records should be copied from input file to output file. LENGTH=6 limits the result to six digits. C'WED',C'WEDNESDAY', - vijay XXX 24000 The remaining elements of the statement are similar. . Based on the 6th position of the file, the BUILD of output file varies. 3) Sum new PD fields. 1) Sort fields. Back to top But if any of the fields in your records have variable positions or lengths, you can use PARSE to treat them as fixed parsed fields in BUILD or OVERLAY. You can delete, rearrange and insert fields and constants. // DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE), You can assign up to 1000 parsed fields (%0-%999) to the variable fields you want to extract. JOINKEYS specifies the field on which the two files are compared. The output file will contain the unique employee numbers sorted in ascending order. 1,20 - data at 1st position of input file with length 20 copied to 1st position(if you don't specific position, it will start from 1st position) of output file. BUILD or FIELDS: Reformat each record by specifying all of its items one by one. OUTREC FIELDS=(1,29,..) Copies the first 29 bytes of data from input file to output as it is. Please post your sysouts including the syntax errors.. FWIW- Those are not ZD values. The sequence number added in positions 82-83 will allow us to keep only the first header record and the first trailer record. OUTREC FIELDS= (1,20,CTOTAL,5Z,21,10), ----+----1----+----2----+----3 Back to top OUTREC in SORT Using OUREC in SORT JCL OUTREC adds, deletes, or reformats fields after the records are sorted or merged. decimal digits with leading zeros. To avoid confusion (due to the "overloading" of OUTREC), don't use OUTREC on OUTFIL, which is for "backwards compatability", use the modern BUILD instead, which is entirely equivalent. For date values in the form Cyyyy/mm/dd, you could use the DATE1(/) constant; For date values in the form Cyyyy-mm, you could use the DATE2(-) constant; For date values in the form Pyyyyddd, you could use the DATE3P constant; For date values in the form Zyymmdd (2-digit year date), you could use the YDATE1 constant. record length. Example MON will be replaced by MONDAY. How to use Slater Type Orbitals as a basis functions in matrix method correctly? I have tried this but get a syntax error: I have managed to sort, sum and edit the data as required. The day-to-day application requirements in a corporate world that can be achieved using Utility Programs are illustrated below: 1. IFTHEN=(WHEN=(30,5,CH,EQ,Csmall),OVERLAY=(45:C***)) overlays the marks of the student with *** who are belong to small. C'TUE',C'TUESDAY', - example, 80), or if you want to ensure that the count record length OUTREC BUILD=(1,10,TRAN=UTOL,11,3, - IFTHEN clauses let you use sophisticated conditional logic to choose how different record types are reformatted. You can mix p,m fields (fixed fields) and %nn fields (parsed fields) in BUILD and OVERLAY. BUILD is new. IFTHEN=(WHEN=NONE,BUILD=(1:1,80)) If no matches to conditions specified in WHEN, copy the 80 bytes data from input file to output as it is. // UNIT=TEST,SPACE=(CYL,(50,10),RLSE) Requirement: To display hexadecimal representation of input value. This is from the DFSORT Application Programming Guide: WRITE(countdd) Specifies the ddname of the count data set to be EDIT=(TTT.TT) is a used-defined edit mask, in this case inserting a decimal point, truncating the otherwise existing left-most digit, and having significant leading zeros when necessary. OUTREC FIELDS=(..,30,4,CHANGE=(11,Cmath,Cmathematics),..) The math text starting from 30th byte of length 4 in the input file should replace with mathematics of length 11 while writing it to output file. Lets say we have a file with a date in a particular position and we want to select only records where the date is greater than the current or a particular date + or N number of days and it can be 0 to 9999. A countdd DD statement must be If clause 4 is not satisfied, its build items are not applied and processing continues. If clause 3 is satisfied, its build items are applied and processing continues. The below is what I think you are trying to do. Can Martian regolith be easily melted with microwaves? OUTREC FIELDS=(1,29,JFY=(.., LEAD=C'<,TRAIL=C>),..) adds the C< as a lead and C> as a trail. Example: Reformat different records in different ways by specifying how build, overlay, find/replace, or group operation items are applied to records that meet given criteria. OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,BUILD=(1:1,80)),..) Copies the 80 bytes data from input file to output as it is. Thanks for contributing an answer to Stack Overflow! You can use nZ to specify n binary zeros. SORT FIELDS=(1,5,ZD,A) The input file will be sorted first and written to the output. This will make the whole process inefficient. Note that if all of the fields in your records have fixed positions and lengths, you don't need to use PARSE. Don't use INREC FIELDS=, or OUTREC FIELDS= or OUTFIL OUTREC=, use BUILD in their place. On INREC and OUTREC, FIELDS also has the "overloading" for the same reason (the backwards thing). // DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=40,BLKSIZE=0), You can delete, rearrange and insert fields and constants. Display Filter View Print Options Help, WER268A SORT STATEMENT : SYNTAX ERROR, ****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************. Reformatting Records Using OUTREC - Part 2 We will explore few more common uses of OUTREC with examples below 1 . The sort utility you use does have them. //SYSIN DD * /*, ----+----1----+----2----+----3 Explnation: Above statement will convert data field at position (1-20) of input file to its uppercase form and write it to output file. Example: The below OVERLAY will extend the records. This statement supports a wide variety of parsing, editing, and reformatting tasks. Why is there a voltage on my HDMI and coaxial cables? is the protected brand of Scrum.org. Also this INCLUDE will not give me the file i want. Is it possible to create a concave light? SORT FIELDS=COPY It is for copy records to output file. All of the data which passes the INCLUDE will be on one of the three OUTFILs, and only one. The location and length of the number sold field. JCL is for those statements that begin with // like DD, EXEC, JOB, OUTPUT, etc. Statement OUTREC FIELDS=(1:1,30,36:SEQNUM,5,ZD), is used here to indicate that field at position (1 to 30 i.e. Thus total record length of output file is 40. Since hexadecimal representation occupies two digits for each character, here we will need output file with record length of 20. 5) Create output record with fewer fields. This statement supports a wide variety ofparsing, editing, andreformatting tasks. 40 RAMESH 34000 03 20120410 50 Kishore 50000 02 20120408. Why do we calculate the second half of frequencies in DFT? length is 25) should be copied at position 1 in output file followed by the field at position (46 to 50 i.es length is 5) should be copied at position 26 of output file. //SORTIN DD DSN=DEPT.EMPL.DATA.OUTPUT1,DISP=SHR length. Brackets affect the "precedence" of numeric operators in a normal way (consult the manual to be familiar with the precedence rules). DFSORTis a very good concept for record manipulation. Data at position 11 in input file will be compared with CHANGE list. . Using OUREC in SORT JCL - Example. TOT calculates the number of records in the input file. SORT FIELDS=(1,3,ZD,A) - Once the above two tasks done, the file will sorted and the same writes to output after sorting. Asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. Build gives you complete control over the items you want in your reformatted OUTREC records and the order in which they appear. SECTIONS is used to generate a report header for each transaction. OUTREC FIELDS=(..,4X,..) add 4 spaces from 40th byte. You can use X or 1X to specify a single blank. Amusing. d can be 1 to 15. Let me know if that resolves the issue. The advantage of the above types of solution is that they basically use very few resources. COBOL: How to Write INPUT and OUTPUT Procedures, The Complete List of COBOL Special Registers. . Use one or more WHEN=NONE clauses to apply build or overlay items to your input records that did not meet the criteria for any of the WHEN=(logexp) clauses. //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* C'MON',C'MONDAY', - // DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE), Date constants can be produced in a variety of other characters, zoned decimal and packed decimal formats as well such as Cyyyy-mm, Zyyyymmdd and Pyyddd. A WHEN=(conditions) or WHEN=ANY sub parameter condition is satisfied and the HIT=NEXT sub parameter is not included. Is there any other way of achieving the same in JCL? If any match found in the list, respective data will be moved to output file. n can be from 1 to 32760. Is it possible to rotate a window 90 degrees if it has the same length and width? When INREC is used reformatting of records is doneBEFOREthe sort. Enter your email address to follow this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email. This sort card will insert 4 binary zeroes between the first and second fields of your output file. I added DIGITS(6) in step001 and modified below OUTFIL FNAMES=SETRC,NULLOFL=RC4,INCLUDE=(23,6,CH,GT,C'090.00'). WHEN=INIT clauses are processed before any of the other IFTHEN clauses. What is the purpose of non-series Shimano components? My code is GPL licensed, can I issue a license to have my code be distributed in a specific MIT licensed project? If the data is going into that column automatically (which it is), then using the columns only creates work, introduces a new possibility of error, and makes the Sort Control Cards more difficult to maintain.
