First of all sorry if someone has asked this question

I have two files. The first file has a length of 173; the second file has a length of 37. I need obtain two files:

- output1 with the records that exist at input2
- output2 with the records that not exist at input2

input1 (173)

the field with 'x' is not relevant for comparation.

output1 (37) (the same records)

00000008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx009
00000008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx009
00000008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx009

output2 (137) (distint records)
------------------------------------

00000002xxxx007xxxxxxxxxx (the record not exist at input2)
00000008xxxx013xxxxxxxxxx (the record not exist at input2)


As you see I compare the positions 1-8, 13, 14, 15 of input1 with the positions 1-8, 35, 36, 37 of input2. This is positions
are the keys of both files.

I need compare the first 1-8 position and If it's are the same, compare the other position (13, 14, 15 input1; 35, 36, 37 input2)

Thank you

pulcinella,

The following DFSORT/ICETOOL JCL will give you the desired results.

Great. Thank you for your help.

Could you help with another problem involving the above example?

I have other file with 16 positions and I need matching with the output file (OUT1) generated in the previous example (37 positions) for obtain two files:

output 1 a file that the key are the same
output 2 a file that the key are not the same

output2 (15) not the same

I modified the previous example this way:

//STEP0xxx EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*

//FB037 DD DSN=Your fb 37 byte file,DISP=SHR
//FB015 DD DSN=your fb 173 byte file,DISP=SHR
//T1 DD DSN=&&T1,DISP=(MOD,PASS),SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//OUT1 DD SYSOUT=*
//OUT2 DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLIN DD *
SORT FROM(FB015) USING(CTL1)
COPY FROM(FB037) USING(CTL2)
SPLICE FROM(T1) TO(OUT1) ON(16,11,CH) WITH(1,15) WITH(27,1) -
WITHALL KEEPNODUPS USING(CTL3)
//CTL1CNTL DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,8,CH,A,13,3,CH,A),EQUALS
SUM FIELDS=NONE
OUTFIL FNAMES=T1,OVERLAY=(16:1,8,13,3,C'11')
//CTL2CNTL DD *
OUTFIL FNAMES=T1,OVERLAY=(16:1,8,35,3,C'22')
//CTL3CNTL DD *
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT1,INCLUDE=(27,2,ZD,EQ,21),BUILD=(1,37)
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT2,INCLUDE=(27,2,ZD,EQ,11),BUILD=(1,15)
/*

But I did something wrong because it gives the error.

ICE000I 0 - CONTROL STATEMENTS FOR 5694-A01, Z/OS DFSORT V1R5 - 13:31 ON MON AUG
OUTFIL FNAMES=T1,OVERLAY=(16:1,8,35,3,C'22')

Could you tell me where this error?

Thank you very much
