I am confused about a statement I'm seeing in the DFSORT - ICETOOL Chapter and its example: Example 3 - Create files with matching and non-matching records I've copied the example below and my question is regarding the last line below and it statement on sorting: We sort the records of T1 on positions 1-3 and splice the second id byte for matching records.
Where in the JCL code does it state to sort the T1 records on positions 1-3?? //S3 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL //TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=* //DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=* //IN1 DD * Vicky Frank Carrie Holly Paul /* //IN2 DD * Karen Holly Carrie Vicky Mary /* //OUT12 DD SYSOUT=* //OUT1 DD SYSOUT=* //OUT2 DD SYSOUT=* //T1 DD DSN=&&T1,DISP=(MOD,PASS),UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(5,5)) //TOOLIN DD * COPY FROM(IN1) TO(T1) USING(CTL1) COPY FROM(IN2) TO(T1) USING(CTL2) SPLICE FROM(T1) TO(OUT12) ON(1,10,CH) WITH(13,1) USING(CTL3) KEEPNODUPS /* //CTL1CNTL DD * OUTREC FIELDS=(1,10,12:C'11') /* //CTL2CNTL DD * OUTREC FIELDS=(1,10,12:C'22') /* //CTL3CNTL DD * OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT12,INCLUDE=(12,2,CH,EQ,C'12'),OUTREC=(1,10) OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT1,INCLUDE=(12,2,CH,EQ,C'11'),OUTREC=(1,10) OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT2,INCLUDE=(12,2,CH,EQ,C'22'),OUTREC=(1,10) /* We copy the IN1 records to the T1 data set and add an identifier of '11' to show they come from FILE1. We copy the IN2 records to the end (MOD) of the T1 data set and add an identifier of '22' to show they come from FILE2. We sort the records of T1 on positions 1-3 and splice the second id byte for matching records.
