Mike, You can parse the input and generate the records using DFSORT PARSE. However is there something that is uniquely identifiable as to where each record ends? If so you can use that character to create individual records from a byte stream of records.
If possible can you send a sample data to my email directly and explain the rules, may be I can code a job that would split the records for you. Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation From: Mike O'Connell <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 11/10/2017 06:28 PM Subject: ICETOOL to parse "spanned" logical recs in physical recs Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Hello, I want to parse a file with physical records that contain one or more logical records. Each logical record starts with a 2 byte binary length field. The goal is to produce a file that contains "logical = physical" records. I'm not seeing how ICETOOL could do this (although i've yet to get permission to FTP download the DFSORT/ICETOOL tips and tricks PDF). Any advice? Hope this was clear.
