Hi,

I sort my data on 2 fields

SORT FIELDS=(41,09,CH,A,01,04,CH,A)

but need to remove duplicates on one field, (41,09,CH,A), can I do that in Single SORT?

Thanks

arvibala,

The following DFSORT/ICETOOL JCL will give you the desired results

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                             
//TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*                                 
//DFSMSG   DD SYSOUT=*                                 
//IN       DD *                                         
AAAA                                    111111111       
ZZZZ                                    111111111       
CCCC                                    111111111       
BBBB                                    222222222       
//OUT      DD SYSOUT=*                                 
//TOOLIN   DD *                                         
 SELECT FROM(IN) TO(OUT) ON(41,09,CH) FIRST USING(CTL1)
//CTL1CNTL DD *                                         
  SORT FIELDS=(41,09,CH,A,01,4,CH,A)                   
/*


Or you can use this sort step but this is based on assumption that your input file is FB 80 bytes LRECL
Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                               
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                 
//SORTIN   DD *                                         
AAAA                                    111111111       
ZZZZ                                    111111111       
CCCC                                    111111111       
BBBB                                    222222222       
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                 
//SYSIN    DD *                                         
  OPTION EQUALS                                         
  SORT FIELDS=(41,9,CH,A,1,4,CH,A)                     
  OUTREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,8,ZD,RESTART=(41,9))       
  OUTFIL BUILD=(1,80),OMIT=(81,8,ZD,GT,1)               
/*
