1. You can use the ISPFTTRC command to trace both the execution of file tailoring service calls
(FTOPEN, FTINCL, FTCLOSE, and FTERASE)

2. The ISPFTTRC command traces the processing of file tailoring services that are invoked from
any screen within the current ISPF session.

3. You can trace both the execution of file tailoring service calls (FTOPEN, FTINCL, FTCLOSE, and FTERASE)
and the processing that occurs within the file tailoring code and processing of each statement.

4. The output from the trace is written to a dynamically allocated VB (variable blocked) data set that has a record length of 255.

I have 15 flat files. each record in the files have the monthly salary for 12 months with the employee number. Now I want to concatenate the 15 files such that for the employee numbers that are common the o/p file should have only one record and the salaries should be concatenated to that record. How can we do it with JCL?

If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
