Step 1.

Add SEQNUM for both the files @ positions 3 to 8 and 2 to 7

Answer / nishant singhal

we can do it by cobol pgm also.
File1=1,file2=11 and

fd file3
01 file3-rec
05 ws1 pic 9(1) value zero.
05 ws2 pic 9(2) value zero.

open file1 in inpute mode and write the record in file3
which is opened in output mode. Now open file2 in input and
file3 in IO mode and update the record.

I think it should work.

Muttiah, would you suggest any better approach by using JCL
thn please share with us. Thanks

Answer / muttiah

Nishant,

Thanks for your answer. It's a correct approach to achieve
the result as '111' in file 3..

I'm not sure how this can be done in JCL.

Can someone suggest how this can be achieved.

Answer / ram mohan

@MDV:

I have tested the code. but it's giving Maxcc - 16. Can you
please give us the exact JCL. I feel Joinkeys are not
supporting in the sort which we are using.

thanks in advance.

One can try this

//IN1 DD *
1
/*
//IN2 DD *
111
/*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
JOINKEYS F1=IN1,FIELDS=(1,1,A)
JOINKEYS F2=IN2,FIELDS=(1,1,A)
REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,1,F2:1,3)
OPTION COPY

Answer / muttiah

@satish:

I'm not sure on what basis you have created this jcl. But
if i'm your interviewer i would have blasted you like
anything.

Findings:
1. step1 output will be 1 in postion 1 followed by 001 in
pos 60 - 62.
2. step2 output will be 111 in position 1-3 followed by 002
in pos 60-63. why the hell are you hardcoding sortin in
both the steps and sortout of step2 you are force fully
making it come as '111' because of this
OUTREC FIELDS=1:C'1',2:1
Then what is the case of having step1 if you force fully
making it as '111'..

Coming to step4: i'm not sure what does it mean but i
executed and saw like the output is in this format.
111 in pos 1-3 and 001 in pos 60-62.
Then where are you eliminating 001 in cols 60.

If you are not sure of the answer don't post anything. But
never divert people with your answers. People who are new
to mainframe can feel your answer is correct.

Please go thru the below points and let me know how to code this. 1. Sort the input dataset for the condition : Starting position is 37,length of the field is 13 based on character and in the ascending order , starting from position 25 length of 12 ,character and in the ascending order. Use a temporary dataset to hold the sorted file. 2. Use the temporary file created in the above step as the input for the next step. The next step is to execute a program and produce an output file. Use the temporary file created in the above as work file 1 and the output of the file to be created in this step work file 2.Also, pass a parameter to the program that is to be executed in this step. The parameter should have the current date in YYYYMMDD format. For the sake of convenience, you can use the below Job Name : Sample1 Input DSN : PCABDT11.CABD.TEST.INPUT Temporary DSN : Sort1 Output DSN : PCABDT11.CABD.TEST.OUTPUT Program Name : SAMPLE Thanks in Advance for your response.
