Thanks Sri! JOINKEYS... that's a new one on me. I guess I have an outdated DFSORT manual. Here's the link I have: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/ice1ca30.pdf
Thanks again Bill -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Sri h Kolusu Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2017 10:56 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: ICETOOL - Question regarding a statement in the ICETOOL Guide George, It was a typo in our publications, it should be 1-10 instead of 1-3. The sorting of 1-10 bytes is done with ON statement on SPLICE. Please look at the DFSMSG dataset and you will see the SPLICE control cards generates the SORT statement with 1,10,CH,A We will update our pubs. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. "We sort the records of T1 on positions 1-10 and splice the second id byte for matching records. We use KEEPNODUPS to keep non-duplicate records. Just an fyi, SPLICE is an Older technique to find the matching records. Ideally we suggest using JOINKEYS Thanks, Sri Hari Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> wrote on 10/26/2017 03:09:04 AM: > From: "George, William@FTB" <bill.geo...@ftb.ca.gov> > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Date: 10/26/2017 03:09 AM > Subject: ICETOOL - Question regarding a statement in the ICETOOL Guide > Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> > > 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. > > > Thanks for any insights > Bill > > ______________________________________________________________________ > CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email from the State of California is for > the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain confidential > and privileged information.
