Hi, is there a utility that will copy data until a certain condition is met on the input file, then stop copying ?

Example:

Code:
input:

b
c
e
f

copy until byte 1 = 'c'

output:

a
b
c

tcurrier,

Use the following DFSORT JCL. I assumed that LRECL=80 and RECFM=FB

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                                         
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                           
//SORTIN   DD *                                                 
A                                                               
B                                                               
C                                                               
E                                                               
F                                                               
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                           
//SYSIN    DD *                                                 
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                               
  OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,END=(1,1,CH,EQ,C'C'),PUSH=(81:ID=8))
  OUTFIL BUILD=(1,80),INCLUDE=(81,8,ZD,EQ,1)
