I have a report file which contains multiple reports in the same file and I need to be able to select only a certain report based on a report number. For example the following sample
has 2 reports, the report numbers are 2000023 and 2000030 and I want to select only the report for 2000023 or only 2000030.
The start of each report can be identified by a 1 in line 2 (pos 17) and a report number (pos 19) in line 4 of each set of report.
The end of each report is identified by the line which contains 2994081.
The report is FBA LRECL 133
How do I do this with ICETOOL?

Thanks

Here's a DFSORT/ICETOOL job that will do what you asked for. You'll need z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90013 (July, 2008) to use DFSORT's WHEN=GROUP function. If you don't have that PTF, ask your System Programmer to install it.
