Hi All,

I have a file of 80 LRECL.
Now I want to compare two fields in a record (Both the fields are in same record). If they are matching then I need to write that record to output file. Is it possible using DFSORT?

EX:
Input record:
aaaaabbbbbcccccdddddaaaaa
Here I want to compare the value in position 1-5 with position 21-25. If both are matching then I want that record to output file.

Thanks
Anand

Code:

//SYSIN    DD *                   
  SORT    FIELDS=COPY             
  OMIT    COND=(pos,length,format,NE,pos,length,format)

or
Code:

//SYSIN    DD *                   
  SORT    FIELDS=COPY             
  INCLUDE COND=(pos,length,format,EQ,pos,length,format)

Anand,

If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:

www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/software/sort/mvs/srtmpub.html
