Hello,

first of all Sorry if someone has already made this question. I need compare two file if meet a condition.

input1 (15 position)
------

00000003xxxx001
00000003xxxx003
00000003xxxx005
00000003xxxx006
00000009xxxx001
00000009xxxx004

input2 (173 position)
------

00000001xxxx001xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000001xxxx003xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000001xxxx004xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000003xxxx001Exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000003xxxx003Bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000003xxxx005Bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000003xxxx006Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000003xxxx008Cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000007xxxx001xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000008xxxx005xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000008xxxx009xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000009xxxx003xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
00000009xxxx008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

for obtain:

an output file with the record that still as the key (1-8, 13-15) has a letter 'B' at input2 and other output file with the record that no have a letter 'B' at input 2.

The position 1-8 have duplicate. The position 13-15 haven't duplicates

This is:

output1 (15 position)
-------

00000003xxxx003 --> has letter 'B'
00000003xxxx005 --> has letter 'B'

output2 (15 position)
-------

00000003xxxx001 --> Has not letter 'B' (has 'E')
00000003xxxx006 --> Has not letter 'B' (has 'D')

Thank you very much

pulcinella,

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

Hello,

When i execution only icetool label it's allright; when before icetool label I execute other's label's (sort's)
returned error code = 16

can be problem with memory?. I defined a region=0M at hunder job. I probe with REGION=6000K but return code is the same (16)... I put the space of T1 cyl(15,15). I probe with cyl(30,30) and using vol label but the return code is the same but I don't know what's happened. Can you help me, please?

Both files are FB

I send TOOLMSG and DFSMSG wrong execution and execution ok

Pulcinella,

I see 1 successful run in the DFSMSG and where did the error come from? The error shows you are running with a 186 byte file where as the given solution assumes it to be 15 and 173 respectively. Please provide the DCB properties of all the files involved

Excuse me Skolosu but why if I executed with other steps it's wrong but If only executed this, It's ok?... The files are the same because I used the sort generated in the first execution for executed the second job... It's not possible that in the first execution is wrong and the second execution is correct with the difference of execution more steps... I think that can be an storage auxiliary but I don't sure.
I see the file's properties more times and have 15 and 173 lrecl. I don't know why seems that I work with 186 bytes. When I browse the file, and see the properties files have 15 and 173 lrecl respectively. I think that the properties that I send and I worked are the same. I think that I am not wrong but the next Monday I will write you and send you the properties of files

FILE WITH LRECL = 15

I think that i found the problem.

At first execution (has more steps previusly), I used an ICETOOL step with the T1 variable storage. When I used other ICETOOL step (in the same job but with your examplet), I have the same T1 variable storage. I changed the variable storage with other (T2) and I work it.

It's strange but it's true. Seem that If I work with more ICETOOL at same job, the name of variable storage must be distinct.

Thanks

Hello,

It's strange but it's true

Nothing strange at all. . . This simply makes clear that you do not have a proper understanding of JCL yet.

When you specify MOD using the same dataset name, the same dataset will be used over and over. . . This has nothing to do with the sort product.

Here is a link you should keep handy - the JCL Reference manual:

Dick,

Thanks for the explanation. I'll have it in mind for next time. Pulcinella

You're welcome - good luck
