Bill,
The following DFSORT JCL will give you the desired results. If you have
more lines to add, then use "/" to create a new line. You can have upto 10
JPn symbols.
// SET PFILE=MY.DATASET.NAME
// SET TXTYP=1
// SET ACCT=001455
// SET RUN=TRIAL
//*
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT,
// PARM=('JP1"&PFILE"',
// 'JP2"&TXTYP"',
// 'JP3"&ACCT"',
// 'JP4"&RUN"')
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,BUILD=(80X),
HEADER1=('USER XXXXXXX',/,
'PROCESS',
10:JP1,/,
'TRANS',
10:JP2,
11:'-',
12:JP3,/,
'RUNTYPE',
10:JP4)
//*
The output from this job is an 80 byte file with the following.
USER XXXXXXX
PROCESS MY.DATASET.NAME
TRANS 1-001455
RUNTYPE TRIAL
Further if you have any questions please let me know
Thanks,
