Hi

I need to count the number of records in a file.While in the report I also need to mention the Input file being read.How Can we do this?

I'd use your sort tool to create the record count report, passing it the name of the dataset through the SYMNAMES DD statement.

Can u elaborate on SYMNAMES ..How can u do that??

Hello,

There are several topics in this forum (use the SEARCH feature).

If you want the best info, look in the documentation for your sort product. If you find something in the documentation that is not clear, post what you found and your doubt. Someone will be able to clarify.

I am able to sort a file file DFSORT utility..and I am generating report using rexx utility.For this I need to inlude file being read also in the report.How can we do that

So this is now a REXX question?
