Hello,

Whatz the error here !! I am pasting the DFSMSG .

You are probably using an older version of DFSORT.

hsubra,

In order to use DFSORT arithmetic expressions (e.g. ADD), you need to have DFSORT R14 PTF UQ90053 (Feb, 2003) installed. The syntax error indicates you do NOT have this PTF installed. Ask your System Programmer to install PTF UQ90053 (it's free). For complete information on the new features available with PTF UQ90053, see:

Hsubra,
As frank and cogito mentioned you need to have the PTF UQ90053 installed for performing arthimetic operations. For some reason if you are not able to get the ptf applied , here is an alternative solution.

A brief explanation of the job, The first copy operator splits the a single input record into 2 records with a seqnum attached to it.

for ex: if your input is as below

[Frank Yaeger]

Note that Kolusu's "trick" can be used for ADD and (with some more tricks) SUB, but it can't be used for the other DFSORT arithmetic operations - MIN, MAX, MUL, DIV, MOD. So it's best to get PTF UQ90053 installed.

Thanks Frank and Kolusu.

I was in vacation . So i couldnt reply. I have applied a similar logic for the above requirement.


Cheers,
