Hi everyone! I am trying to generate a large test file for an internal
> project, and I wanted to know if anyone has done this with SORT.
Bill,
It is quite easy to generate your test data. I generated 1 million
records with an LRECL of 100 bytes
TCB: 00:00:00.922436
ELAPSED: 00:00:09.43
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
ABC
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(DATE5)
OUTFIL REPEAT=1000000,
BUILD=(SEQNUM,9,ZD,START=100000001,INCR=8, $ SEQ INCREMENT BY 8
12,15,UFF,M11,LENGTH=12, $ HHMMSSMILLLL
SEQNUM,4,PD,START=31,INCR=14, $ PACKED INCR BY 14
C'STATIC TEXT - 01', $ STATIC TEXT
SEQNUM,16,PD,START=23003,INCR=2, $ PACKED INCR BY 2
C'STATIC TEXT - 02', $ STATIC TEXT
SEQNUM,10,PD,START=0, $ PACKED INCR BY 1
C'END OF THE GEN', $ STATIC TEXT
100:X) $ LRECL=100
//*
Further if you have any questions please let me know
Thanks,
