Data Reference :
* InputDataset1 contains 19070491 records
* InputDataset2 contains 19070491 records

When I execute the below JCL it shows RCD IN 38140982, OUT 38140982 in SPOOL. But I would like to see the record count for the InputDataset1 and InputDataset2 separately. Is it possible? Requesting your help on this.

Select all

//PS010 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//CURRFIL DD DSN=InputDataset1,
// DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=InputDataset2,
// DISP=SHR
//OUT DD DSN=OutputDataset,
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(CYL,(200,200),RLSE)
//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(CURRFIL) TO(OUT)
//*

Thanks,
Vinoth R

When you concatenate input data sets, DFSORT does not count the records separately. However, you could COPY each data set separately to a MOD output data set to get the separate record counts. For example:

Select all

//PS010 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN1 DD DSN=InputDataset1,
// DISP=SHR
//IN2 DD DSN=InputDataset2,
// DISP=SHR
//OUT DD DSN=OutputDataset,
// DISP=(MOD,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(CYL,(200,200),RLSE)
//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(IN1) TO(OUT)
COPY FROM(IN2) TO(OUT)
//*

Of course, if you just want to get the record counts without copying the input data sets to an output data set, COUNT operators would be a better choice than COPY operators.
