I have a dataset that contains records with a field, by which I need to
create a separate dataset that would contain all occurrences of that
field. For example the file, FB100, looks like
value1 other data.....
value1 other data.....
value1 other data.....
value2 other data.....
value2 other data.....
value2 other data.....
value3 other data.....
value3 other data.....
value3 other data.....
value4 other data.....
value4 other data.....
value4 other data.....
My final product must be a series of datasets:
hlq.value1.records
hlq.value2.records
hlq.value3.records
hlq.value4.records
There may be hundreds/thousands of possible values, hence
hundreds/thousands of datasets. I have accomplished this in 3 phases,
first pass reads the data, uses ICETOOL OCCUR to list the values, second
phase reads the OUTPUT and formats DD statements and OUTFIL OUTREC
statements, the third phase reads the original data to create the numerous
output files. I used a newly created PDSE as the output file whereupon
the third phase created several thousand members.
It works, after a fashion, but I'd like a more simple solution.
