Just some general suggestions that may be helpful: 1. ICETOOL has a number of commands that may make it easier to do what you want. It's worth getting familiar with it. I've recently discovered that SYNCTOOL handles my ICETOOL jobs just fine. I've not seen a byte of doc on SYNCTOOL, so there may be other options.
2. SORT symbols make almost all sorting (and ICETOOLing) much easier to write, read, and maintain. Symbol definitions are easy to create from DSECTs, header files, etc. by anyone who has edit skillz (or scripting). Again, SYNCSORT supports the same syntax as DFSORT as far as my tests go. sas On Mon, Apr 24, 2017 at 5:40 PM, Farley, Peter x23353 < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Bill, that put me on the right track.
