Trying to add extra field on a .csv parsing job

Postby golemis » Tue Sep 10, 2019 3:49 pm

Hi team,
I am decomposing a .cvs file into a fixed column length one using the following CNTL:
Select all
 OPTION VLSHRT
  RECORD TYPE=V,LENGTH=300
  OUTFIL PARSE=(%01=(ABSPOS=6,ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=7),
                %02=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=42),
                %03=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=8),
                %04=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=3),
                %05=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=37),
                %06=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=32),
                %07=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=26),
                %08=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=18),
                %09=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=19),
                %10=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=1),
                %11=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=1),
                %12=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=8),
                %13=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=20),
                %14=(ENDBEFR=C'"',FIXLEN=16)),
  VTOF,
  BUILD=(%02,
         %01,
         %04,
         %05,
         %03,
         %09,JFY=(SHIFT=RIGHT),
         %06,
         %07,
         %08,
         %10,
         %11,
         %12,
         %13)

and works fine.

however, i need to add an extra filed at the end, which would be a single character, "R" if the first char of field %04% is "R" and "A" if first char of field %04 is "V"

Tried several options including IFTHEN or CHANGE, but successful. Last attempt was :

Select all
OPTION VLSHRT
  RECORD TYPE=V,LENGTH=300
  OUTFIL PARSE=(%01=(ABSPOS=6,ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=7),
                %02=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=42),
                %03=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=8),
                %04=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=3),
                %05=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=37),
                %06=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=32),
                %07=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=26),
                %08=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=18),
                %09=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=19),
                %10=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=1),
                %11=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=1),
                %12=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=8),
                %13=(ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=20),
                %14=(ENDBEFR=C'"',FIXLEN=16)),
  VTOF,
  BUILD=(%02,
         %01,
         %04,
         %05,
         %03,
         %09,JFY=(SHIFT=RIGHT),
         %06,
         %07,
         %08,
         %10,
         %11,
         %12,
         %13,
         %04,CHANGE=(1,
             C'R',C'R',
             C'V',C'A'))

but did not work. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, GG

Select all
 OUTFIL   VTOF,
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
            PARSE=(%01=(ABSPOS=6,ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=7),
 . . . . . . . . . . . . .
                   %14=(ENDBEFR=C'"',FIXLEN=16)),
            BUILD=(%02,
 . . . . . . . . . . . . .
                   %14)),                 initially use %14 as is
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=(pos,1,CH,EQ,C'V'),      use pos value as real position of %14
            OVERLAY=(pos:C'A'))           replace char 1 of %14 when needed
 
Javas and Pythons come and go, but JCL and SORT stay forever.

Unfortunately it gave Error:
ICE126A 9 INCONSISTENT REFORMATTING FOR T1 : REASON CODE 05, IFTHEN 1

Reading the manual found out that:
Note: VTOF cannot be used with an IFTHEN or
OVERLAY operand.

Move all IFTHENs to statement OUTREC, and leave other parameter(s) with OUTFIL.
Also don't forget to mention RDW field in your BUILD parameters
Select all
 OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
            PARSE=(%01=(ABSPOS=6,ENDBEFR=C'","',FIXLEN=7),
 . . . . . . . . . . . . .
                   %14=(ENDBEFR=C'"',FIXLEN=16)),
            BUILD=(1,4,                            RDW from RECFM=VB      
                   %02,
 . . . . . . . . . . . . .
                   %14)),                 initially use %14 as is
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=(pos,1,CH,EQ,C'V'),      use pos value as real position of %14 (plus 4 for RDW)
            OVERLAY=(pos:C'A'))           replace char 1 of %14 when needed
  OUTFIL   VTOF
