Sort Card to Mask the particular field values

Postby naveenbn » Thu Jan 03, 2013 6:24 pm

Hi,

i am trying to mask the particular field values that appears more than once, as below:

Select all
Input file:
Employee name    Dep No
abc                      666
xyz                      123
xyz                      888
xyz                      222
bat                      345



Output file:
Select all
Employee name    Dep No
abc                      666
xyz                      123
                         888
                         222
bat                      345


Please provide me the sort card to achieve the above.

Code'd and aligned

Hi Enrico,

Since it is a complex report generation using JCl SORT with lot of steps, i couldnt give much info and also googled, went thru books, but couldnt get the solution as per my requirement, then decided to post it. Thanks for your suggestion.

Have a look at the reporting functions of OUTFIL in your Sort manual. We don't even know which product you use.

Naveen.

My suggestion is that you fulfill what doesn't seem, from your description, to actually be a very complex requirement, by writing a program. You can program, yes?

Hello and welcome to toe forum,

If you post which sort product you are using, your topic will be moved to the proper part of the forum.

If you do not know which product is being used, run any external sort and post the first few lines of the informational output - including the message ids.
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

Naveen - you still have not said which sort product you are using. This is a JCL forum not a SORT forum so the topic has to be moved. So...do you use DFSort or Syncsort?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
Regards
Nic
