wht r different types of sort fields in jcl ?
Answer Posted / pullareddy
1. SORT FIELDS=COPY ===> To copy all the records from
SORTIN to SORTOUT.
2. SORT FIELDS=COPY,SKIPREC=100,STOPAFT=5 ===> TO copy the
records from 100 to 105.
3. SORT FIELDS=(STARTPOS,LENGTH,TYPE,ASC/DESC) ===> TYPE
can be: ZD(zoned decimal), CH(Charecter),BI(Binary),PD
(Packed decimal), and FS(Signed numbers).
4. INCLUDE COND=(STATPOS,LENGTH,TYPE,RO,VALUE) EX: INCLUDE
COND=(1,5,CH,EQ,C'PULLA) ===> To select the paticlular
record. same as above to omit the record replace INCLUDE
with OMIT.
5. INREC FIELDS=(15,5,6,6) ===> to restructure the input
file before feeding to sort.
6. OUTREC FIELDS=(1:1,20,21:C'PULLA',26:10Z,36:21,10) ===>
First 20 chars from input file followed by character PULLA
followed by 10 zeros followed by characters from 21 to 10
characters of input. the same can be codded as bellow.
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,20,C'PULLA',10Z,21,10).
7. SORT FIELDS=(1,5),EQUALS
SUM FIELDS=NONE ===> TO remove the duplicates in the key
field(1,5).

I have a cobol db2 program(PGM A) where other program (PGM B) will call this program and passes some 50 fields data to PGM A. PGM A has some layout in which it receives the data from PGM B. And this layout has been copied in the linkage section pf PGM A. After getting the data, PGM A writes the data in a flat file in the same layout which it receives from PGM B. PGM B is a simple COBOL pgm. Please provide a JCL to run these programs.
