jctgf,

I cant speak for syncsort but you can certainly do that with DFSORT. Here's how DFSORT processes various functions/exits:

jctgf,

Pay close attention to the DFSORT Figure Kolusu posted (if you' re using Syncsort, you might want to verify that Syncsort has the same order of processing as shown for DFSORT).

Note that in the control statements you show, you are NOT using an INCLUDE statement - you're using the INCLUDE operand of an OUTFIL statement.

An INCLUDE statement is processed before E35 (as is an INREC statement), whereas the OUTFIL statement is processed after E35. Code your control statements and E35 according to the order of processing shown in the Figure and you'll be ok (assuming that Syncsort has the same order of processing as DFSORT).

jctgf: It is possible to use an INCLUDE statement and a MODS E35 exit within the same SyncSort application.
Please let us know if you require further assisytance with this matter.

Thanks a lot for the replies.

Unfortunately it won't work for me because I need to run an E35 for each outfile.

I tried but got an error message.

Thanks again.
