Hi All,

My requirement is that I have 3 inps file from which I have to take recs of different positions from 3 files and write into a single output file.
And I have different sort cards for the 3 inps file.

EXAM:
INPUT1:
01 manoj
45 rakesh
89 raja

INPUT2:
99 thila
43 hhh
56 fiki
33 sila

INPUT3:
67 yhik
55 ggg
87 kkk
90 zaf
83 ajj

Now my ouput file sholud contain Rec no 2 to 3 from file1, rec no. 1 to 3 from file2 and rec no. 2-4 from file3 after sort card is applied to the input file.

I have ICETOOL,DFSORT,ICEMAN with me.

Any help is highly appreciated.

It's not clear what you want to do exactly.

What is the RECFM and LRECL of each input file? What is the RECFM and LRECL of the output file?

What is the RECFM and LRECL of each input file? What is the RECFM and LRECL of the output file?

The RECFM and LRECL is same for all the files.

Do you mean a SORT statement such as:

Code:

SORT FIELDS=(1,2,CH,A)


Yes Sort cards are different for different files(it may also have include, build or like this)

EXAM:
INPUT1: After Sort card is used(sort fields=1,2,zd,d
01 manoj 89 raja Include cond=....)
45 rakesh 45 rakesh
89 raja 01 manoj


INPUT2: After sort card is used(sort fileds=1,2,zd,a)
99 thila 33 sila include cond=
43 hhh 43 hhh
56 fiki 56 fiki
33 sila 99 thila


INPUT3: After sort card is used (sort fileds=4,10,ch,a)
67 yhik 83 ajj include cond=
55 ggg 55 ggg
87 kkk 87 kkk
90 zaf 67 yhik
83 ajj 90 zaf

Output:


89 raja
45 rakesh
43 hhh
56 fiki
87 kkk
67 yhik

computer,

RECFM means the record format - Varible or Fixed length.
LRECL states the record length.

Your requirement is not understandable.
Use [code] [\code] tags to enclose your code.

Please explain in detail what you are actually trying to achieve so that we can provide you with some valuable responses.

Computer,

It's not clear what you want and your description of what you want doesn't really match your input/output example, but I'm guessing you want to SORT each input file and then include specific sorted record numbers from it (e.g. records 2-3). Here's a job that does that and produces the output you show from the input you show:
