Hi,

I have the below requirement and trying to do it via JCL mostly Easytreive. I referred earlier posts by Kolusu, but since the data length is varying in my case, I couldnt fully find a solution. Please help!

Input
Code:
S{"NAME":{"NAME1":"JOHNNY C","NAME2":"BRAVO","ADDRESS1":"433 SOUTH EAST STREET","CITY":"LAS VEGAS","STATE":"NV"}}
S{"NAME":{"NAME1":"PAUL JEAN G","NAME2":"WILSON","ADDRESS1":"6000 WILLIAMS  BLVD","CITY":"TAMPA","STATE":"FL"}}
S{"NAME":{"NAME1":"MELANIE CHRIS","NAME2":"DUMMINY","ADDRESS1":"22100 VICTORY PARKWAY","CITY":"LOS ANGELES","STATE":"CA"}}


Output needs to be in formatted in fixed length as below
NAME1- 30
NAME2 - 30
ADDRESS1 - 30
CITY -17
STATE - 2

Code:

JOHNNY C                       BRAVO                   433 SOUTH EAST STREET        LAS VEGAS          NV
PAUL JEAN G                    WILSON                  6000 WILLIAMS BLVD           TAMPA              FL
MELANIE CHRIS                  DUMINIY                 22100 VICTORY PARKWAY        LOS ANGELES        CA

You have an Easytrieve problem not a JCL problem so why post in the JCL part of the forum instead of the Application Programming section the description of which specifically mentions Easytrieve?

rockstar1986,

As Nic pointed, JCL doesn't anything. It is the programs/utilities that converts the variable data into fixed length data.

DFSORT can parse out the information quite easily.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                       
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                         
//SORTIN   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your input file
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                         
//SYSIN    DD *                                 
  OPTION COPY                                   
  INREC PARSE=(%01=(STARTAFT=C'"NAME1":"',     
                     ENDBEFR=C'",',             
                      FIXLEN=30),

Kolusu - I like the fact that you include 2 examples of a solution (the SORT example certainly looks easier).

Rockstar1986's actual request for an Easytrieve solution makes me think of that saying "if all you've got is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" Smile
(I wonder if a colleague has told him that he must solve it using Easytrieve)

Hi Kolusu,

Much thanks. DFSORT works for me, but got another question. I wanted to convert the lower case to upper case on one of these fields(all should be fine too) and Im using TRAN=LTOU but fails with error. Please advise.

Code:
      BUILD=(%01,                               
             %02,                               
             %03,                               
             %04,TRAN=LTOU,                             
             %05)

It helps if you show the error messages.

Nic, Kolusu,

I was able to fix the issue, thank you. I was wondering if we can format a header to populate all "-" in DFSORT using HEADER1 parameter instead of hardcoding .. similar to program CODE - MOVE ALL '-' TO VARIABLE

Code:

 NAME  ADDRESS                       CITY       ST
JOHN|1211 SUSAN DR                 |MORRIS CITY|CA



EXPECTED O/P
Code:

------------------------------------------------------------
 NAME  ADDRESS                       CITY       ST
------------------------------------------------------------
JOHN|1211 SUSAN DR                 |MORRIS CITY|CA

rockstar1986,

Please do NOT quote the entire post. It adds nothing but clutter.

The above is absolutely useless without you showing the relevant error messages. We cannot look over your shoulder, so post detailed information on what you're trying to accomplish. Do not make people guess what you mean. This will give you a much better chance of getting a good answer to your question.

Quite simple. Add the following after the BUILD statement

Code:

  OUTFIL REMOVECC,
  HEADER1=(001:109'-',/,
           001:'NAME',
           031:'NAME2',
           061:'ADDRESS',
           091:'CITY',
           108:'ST',/,
           001:109'-')


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:

Thanks Kolusu.. One more question: Please advise.
Back to the original question, in the input if any of the field is missing, then looks like DFSORT is ignoring all fields after that and goes to next line.

Example:
In the below case, 2nd line is missing NAME2 in the input, i want to simply ignore that one field but still read the next fields and display the o/p. However this is not happening and all fields are ignored in the line.

Code:

S{"NAME":{"NAME1":"JOHNNY C","NAME2":"BRAVO","ADDRESS1":"433 SOUTH EAST STREET","CITY":"LAS VEGAS","STATE":"NV"}}
S{"NAME":{"NAME1":"PAUL JEAN G","ADDRESS1":"6000 WILLIAMS  BLVD","CITY":"TAMPA","STATE":"FL"}}
S{"NAME":{"NAME1":"MELANIE CHRIS","NAME2":"DUMMINY","ADDRESS1":"22100 VICTORY PARKWAY","CITY":"LOS ANGELES","STATE":"CA"}}



DSFORT o/p

Code:


JOHNNY C                       BRAVO                   433 SOUTH EAST STREET        LAS VEGAS          NV
PAUL JEAN G                                           
MELANIE CHRIS                  DUMINIY                 22100 VICTORY PARKWAY        LOS ANGELES        CA



Expected o/p

Code:


JOHNNY C                       BRAVO                   433 SOUTH EAST STREET        LAS VEGAS          NV
PAUL JEAN G                                            6000 WILLIAMS BLVD           TAMPA              FL
MELANIE CHRIS                  DUMINIY                 22100 VICTORY PARKWAY        LOS ANGELES        CA
