file contains 10 records. How will you code the JCL to read
only 2nd, 5th, 7th,and 10th record?

Answer / mahesh

Hope this will work

//SORTIN DD DSN=INPUTFILE,DISP=SHR
//SORTOF01 DD DSN=X.Y.OUTFILE1,DISP=SHR
//SORTOF02 DD DSN=X.Y.OUTFILE2,DISP=SHR
//SORTOF03 DD DSN=X.Y.OUTFILE3,DISP=SHR
//SORTOF04 DD DSN=X.Y.OUTFILE4,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FILES=01,STARTREC=2,ENDREC=2
OUTFIL FILES=02,STARTREC=5,ENDREC=5
OUTFIL FILES=03,STARTREC=7,ENDREC=7
OUTFIL FILES=04,STARTREC=10,ENDREC=10
/*
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=X.Y.OUTFILE1,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=X.Y.OUTFILE2,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=X.Y.OUTFILE3,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=X.Y.OUTFILE4,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=X.Y.OUTFILE,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
/*
Use X.Y.OUTFILE as input to your program , but in real time
it wont make sense
