I have two input files
i/p1
name id-key flag date
i/p 2
name id-key date
if id-key matches in the both the files then it should
write the output file from i/p1 with flag 'Y'. It should be
done thru JCL sort card ,Please provide the info on this.
---Note : output file should have all records from i/p1
with proper Flag.
Answer Posted / vivek chandrasekaran
Give the two input files to be compared as
//SORTIN DD DSN=INPUT1,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=INPUT2,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=OUTPUT,DISP=...
//SORTXSUM DD DSN=MATCH,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),..
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(11,5,CH,A),EQUALS
SUM FIELDS=NONE,XSUM
Considering name length 10 and key length 5 starting from
11 pos. XSUM will capture the duplicates. EQUALS will keep
the first duplicate record. To put 'Y' flag use OUTREC
FIELDS=(1:1,15,16:C'Y',17:17,8) considering date length 8
starting from 17 pos.
SUM FIELDS=NONE
