John, As Bill mentioned it is the access methods that is preventing the concatenation of the VSAM files.
If you can send your existing job and control cards may be I can suggest an alternative to copying VSAM to sequential file Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation From: John McKown <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 08/31/2016 08:11 AM Subject: DFSORT mixed VSAM & sequential. Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> I can't find a way to do the following. Basically a programmer want to create an output data set which is the sorted input from a sequential data set and a VSAM file. I don't see any way to do this easily. We plan to unload the VSAM to sequential, then sort it with the other sequential data set. But that is just more work. I wonder why DFSORT doesn't have a way to handle this. -- Unix: Some say the learning curve is steep, but you only have to climb it once. -- Karl Lehenbauer Unicode: http://xkcd.com/1726/ Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
