Is it possible to include an OMIT condition based on a list held in a datafile. We want to run the same function each run, but the records to omit will vary depending on what the business require.

So am currently running the following two steps

//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(SORTIN1) TO(TEMP1) USING(CTL1)
COPY FROM(SORTIN2) TO(TEMP1) USING(CTL2)
SPLICE FROM(TEMP1) TO(SORTOUT) ON(1,9,CH) WITH(451,10) KEEPNODUPS -
USING(CTL3)
//CTL1CNTL DD *
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,450,451:10X)
//CTL2CNTL DD *
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:2,10,451:100,109)
//CTL3CNTL DD *
OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT,
INCLUDE=(3,7,ZD,GE,POLNOSTART,AND,451,10,CH,EQ,C' '),
OUTREC=(SEQNUM,5,ZD,START=1,INCR=1,C'|',7:1,450,600:X)

and then

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(1,5,ZD,LE,RECSREQD,AND,390,4,CH,EQ,C'AV01')
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:1,6,C'MM03|45|0|',7,10,61,21,28,33,C' |',
17,11,405,6,C'|',82,37,82,292,C' |',
374,16,C' | | ',600:X)
/*

however I want to omit records where positions 1 to 9 from input of first step or 7 to 15 from output of first step or 17-25 from the output of second step meet criteria in a list held in a mainframe file, is this possible? and if so how?
POLNOSTART and RECSREQD are symbolics.

Andyf,


Please run the following JCL and show me the entire sysout which helps us to determine the level of DFSORT you have

This is the SYSOUT from running the JCL.

Andyf,

The sysout you show indicates that you do NOT have the PTF G which supports Joinkeys function. I need the following details from you

1. What is the LRECL and RECFM of SORTIN1 in your job?
2. Show me a sample data of it and what is the key position and format in SORTIN1 and does this file have any duplicates on the key?
3. What is the LRECL and RECFM of SORTIN2 in your job?
4. Show me a sample data of it and what is the key position and format in SORTIN2 and does this file have any duplicates on the key?
5. What is the LRECL and RECFM of the omit cond file?
6. Show me a sample of it also.

SORTIN1 is FB 600 and key is in characters 1 to 9 (ie: in example its GY0000072)
Sample data of first 160 bytes of a record is
GY0000072|Miss |MICHELLE GEORGIA |Snow |Miss MG Snow |dfslfjlk
GY0000073|Miss |CHARLOTTE HAZEL |Gilbert |Miss CH Gilbert |Address 3391

SORTIN2 is FB 600 and key is in characters 2 to 10 (ie: in example its GY0000324)
Sample data of first 160 bytes of a record is
"GY0000324 ","10001","Active ",,,,"60012","xxxxx xxxxx Pension Scheme ",
"GY0015466 ","10001","Active ",,,,"60012","xxxxx xxxxx Pension Scheme ",

The omit file can have its LRECL and RECFM set to anything suitable but is most likely to be FB 80
Sample data would be
GY0016753
GY0021949

Just to let you know I have come up with a solution.

I've set the omit file to have data of format

GY0015170OMIT
GY0028826OMIT

I've then included this into the ICETOOL as file SORTIN3, so that only records without the words OMIT are included as so
