Lots of different ways. This question comes up every so often, so please search the archives.
Since you specifically mentioned SYNCSORT, you can do it with SYNCTOOL, which is very similar to DFSORT's ICETOOL. //TOOLRUN EXEC PGM=SYNCTOOL,REGION=2M //TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=* //DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=* //IN1 DD DSN=your.input.file,DISP=SHR //TOOLIN DD * * COUNT NUMBER OF RECORDS IN INPUT FILE COUNT FROM(IN1) /* Mark -- Mark Zelden Sr. Software and Systems Architect - z/OS Team Lead Zurich North America / Farmers Insurance Group - ZFUS G-ITO mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] z/OS and OS390 expert at http://searchDataCenter.com/ateExperts/ Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ Mark's MVS Utilities: http://home.flash.net/~mzelden/mvsutil.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
