I want to include records between header and trailer

Postby rakeshsneha1212 » Wed Jan 29, 2020 5:20 pm

Hi All,

Can someone help me with the below requirement?

I have an input file with the below format, I want to keep D1, D2, D3 records if the first 6 bytes of my data has TL03106 and to write it's corresponding H1 & T1 irrespective of what is there in first 6 bytes in H1 & T1 of the file.

Select all

we reply on our own time and free of charge

WE EXPECT SOME COURTESY from the people asking for help

when posting data to be used in a sort step USE the CODE tags
makes the data understandable and makes easier to find out the starting end ending columns of the fields

Your post has been edited to use the CODE tags
cheers

so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort

1) What exactly prevents you from doing this?

2) What did you try so far? Where are the results of your own efforts?

Looks like nothing else is needed but:

1) to get access to mainframe, including TSO/ISPF, and batch processing
2) to read something about SORT utility
3) to try using SORT control statements; only INCLUDE, and SORT must be enough.

Any Example #1 of any SORT guide gives you the template: how to do this.

Javas and Pythons come and go, but JCL and SORT stay forever.

TL03106 is 7 bytes not 6. What have you tried? Where are you stuck? What is your expected output from the input that you have shown? What sre the dataset (not 'file') characteristics i.e. LRECL and RECFM?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
