Remember to use DISP=(MOD,...) for the output DD and also remember that EACH REPRO starts over again at record 1, so first few and last REPRO's would look like:
REPRO INFILE(A) OUTFILE(B) COUNT(932963) REPRO INFILE(A) OUTFILE(B) SKIP(933147) COUNT(605868) /* COUNT IS 1539016 - 933148 */ ETC. REPRO INDD(A) OUTDD(B) SKIP(22176052) /* NO COUNT, COPY TO EOF */ HTH Peter -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jesse 1 Robinson Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2019 4:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Copying portions of a huge data set EXTERNAL EMAIL We have a file that contains one month's worth of syslog/operlog data. Unfortunately a user's job output has infiltrated this file at random points by inappropriate use of MSGCLASS. I want to copy the good data (log stuff) to another file and leave the errant user stuff behind. It seems simple, but I can't seem to tweak a utility like REPRO (with SKIP and COUNT) to do what I want. I've browsed the file and identified by line number where each good data starts/ends and where the bad data starts/ends, like this: 0000000001 - log 0000932964 - job 0000933148 - log 0001539016 - job ... 0022175585 - job 0022176053 - EOD log The output file should contain just the 'log' data.
