have in 100 records in a file i want to move only matched records to one output_file1 and nonmathe..

Answer / ananth

Use Syncsort or Dfsort for this.

//S001 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=inputfile,DISP=SHR
//SORTOF01 DD DSN=dsn.match,DISP=(NEW,CATLG)
//SORTOF02 DD DSN=dsn.unmatch,DISP=(NEW,CATLG)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,5,CH,A)
OUTFIL FNAMES=01,INCLUDE=(1,5,CH,EQ,C'A1000')->for match
OUTFIL FNAMES=02,INCLUDE=(1,5,CH,NE,C'A1000')->for nonmatch

Answer / abhay

WE CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM THROUGH 2 METHODS..
1) THROUGH JCL:
By using ICEMAN utility, it cab be done as below:
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//DD1 DD DSN=.....
//DD2 DD DSN=....
.
.
//SYSIN DD *
SELECT FROM INDD(DD1) TO OUTDD(DD2) ON (1, 4 CH, A) ALLDUPS
SELECT FROM INDD(DD1) TO OUTDD(DD2) ON (1, 4 CH, A) NONDUPS
*/
//
2) THROUGH COBOL PROGRAM:
AS BELOW

1)FIRST SORT 2 FILES ON ANY KEY
2)READ 2 FILES FOR MATCHING KEYS.IF KEY OF 2 FILES MATCHED,
THEN PUT RECORDS INTO FILE3 ELSE MOVE IT INTO FILE4
3)REPEAT THE PROCESS UNTIL END-OF-FILE1 AND END-OF-FILE2.

Answer / abhay

BY USING SORT UTILITY, WE CAN DO THE SAME..
1)
//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//F1 DD DSN=.....
//F2 DD DSN=.....
.
.
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,4,CH,A)--> FIRST SORT ON ANY KEY
OUTFIL FILE 1 INREC FILEDS=(10,5,CH,EQ,C'A')--> CONTAINS
RECORDS WHOSE NAME STARTS FROM LETTER A
OUTFIL FILE 2 INREC FILEDS=(10,5,CH,NE,C'A')--> CONTAINS
RECORDS WHOSE NAME DOES NOT START FROM LETTER A(i.e. letter
other than that 'A')
*/
