Unless I misunderstand there's a slight error in Sri Hari's sample: The 
IFTHEN should have C'B' rather than C'2'.

SORTINxx is what DFSORT MERGE uses. That syntax might be confusing. But 
then again maybe MERGE will work for you. (I doubt it.)

Frank,

Thanks for sending the DCB properties of the files involved offline. Based 

on the DCB properties here is a DFSORT JOB that will give you the desired 
results without having you copy the VSAM cluster to a sequential file.

We will be using the trick of JOINKEYS where you can have two subtasks 
with different files. All we need is an additional indicator at the end.


//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT 
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=* 
//INVSAM   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your Input VSAM Cluster
//*
//INSEQF   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your Sequential file 1
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your Sequential file 2
...
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your Sequential file n
//*
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=Your final output file,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//*
//SYSIN    DD * 
  OPTION COPY 
  JOINKEYS F1=INVSAM,FIELDS=(1,10,A,13,4,A,17,4,A,11,2,A,501,1,A) 
  JOINKEYS F2=INSEQF,FIELDS=(1,10,A,13,4,A,17,4,A,11,2,A,501,1,A) 
  JOIN UNPAIRED 
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,500,?,F2:1,500) 
  INREC IFOUTLEN=500, 
  IFTHEN=(WHEN=(501,1,CH,EQ,C'2'),BUILD=(502,500)) 
//* 
//JNF1CNTL DD * 
  RECORD TYPE=F 
  INREC OVERLAY=(501:C'A') 
//JNF2CNTL DD * 
  INREC OVERLAY=(501:C'B') 
//* 

Further if you have any questions please let me know

Thanks,
Kolusu
