My input file have records sorted by Group ID.

Please find the format of the Input file :



The output file should have the count of each error id for the Group



Please help me in processing this

You can use a DFSORT job like the following to do what you asked for:

Thanks Frank..

I got my output fine with your Sort card.. Can you explain the sort card..How it is calculating the count.
It would be very helpful for me when the same can be used in different file layouts

SECTIONS divides the records into groups by the value in positions 1-3. TRAILER3 creates a "trailer record" for each group. COUNT gives the count of records in each group.

If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:

My input file has a LRECL "94". for the above example i have to append the count to my output file then my LRECL will change. Suppose say my count length is 9. Then my output LRECL will be "103".

When I tried excuting using the file I am getting Error.

Please find the Sort step I used:

INREC FIELDS=(1,94,9C'1')
SORT FIELDS=(11,9,ZD,A,9,2,ZD,A)
SUM FIELDS=(95,9,ZD)
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,94,95,9,ZD,TO=ZDF,94:X)

Please help me how can I solve this..

In my output file I need the details from my Input file + my count of the Error code.

The count should be based on Group ID and Error code. The blue one is the count of the Errorcodes.

In the Input File for the Group ID 101 we have different Error codes 11,15,and 14.
The count should be based on Group ID and Erorr code.

Please help me in solving this..

Hello,

When I tried excuting using the file I am getting Error.

When an error is encountered, the diagnostic info containing the error including the message id should be posted.

OUTREC FIELDS=(1,94,95,9,ZD,TO=ZDF,94:X)

This statement is causing the error message. You are building an output record like this:

1-94: input record positions 1-94
95-103: count

But then you have 94:X but 94 is lower than the previous position of 103 which isn't allowed so that causes the error message.

Just remove 94:X, or if you want a record larger than 103 specify n:X where x is > 103.

Note: I didn't check to see if your control statements actually do what you want.

Hi frank,

As you have said I removed the 94:X from the Outrec and executed the sort.

In the my output file I am getting

200810170000000010A0002732743800965347555E965347555027327438 222222222

I require my output file as

200810170000000010A0002732743800965347555E96534755502732743823

200810171200000010A0000752281500953487748G9534877481010030902

23,5,2 are the counts..

For group ID 101 and Error code 0 the count is 23
For Group ID 101 and Error code 11 the count is 5
For Group ID 101 and Error code 12 the count is 2
It is possible getting like this.

My input file is will be

Based on the Group ID and Error code the count should be calculated.

Please help me regarding this..

9C'1' is '111111111'. You want C'000000001'. So your INREC statement should be:



But you could do the same thing more simply with these DFSORT control statements:
