I don't use SYSCSORT but I think you do have the displacement correct. My SMF manual shows the RDW at offset 0 and the system ID at 14. Since sort starts at 1, 15 should be correct.
DFSORT and SYNCSORT manage to stay in step with each other regarding features. OVERLAY is not that new in DFSORT. Chances are that SYNCSORT uses a different name for it. If you really don't have an overlay capability, one possibility would be to break your output record into three sections: 1-14, 15-18, and 19-end. Just copy the first and third sections from the input and use whatever SYSNCSORT calls the change facility for the middle. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Bielefeld Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 3:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Copy SMF Records With Syncsort Steve, Apparently OVERLAY is not a Syncsort keyword. I did a search of the whole Syncsort reference manual, and it wasn't listed, although my book is about 6 years old. I did allow for the RDW in my displacement, I think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
