I'm splitting a file into three parts, based on record type, using DFSORT. I've discovered some of the value fields are formatted quite eccentrically.

Can I convert these fields in DFSORT, or do I need some kind of post-process?

The conversion I need is as follows:
Code:

From        To
19.72     19.72 
   10     10.00 
28.64     28.64 
18.08     18.08 
 20.5      20.50 
  550    550.00 
  6.4      6.40 
20.99     20.99 



The input fields are right-justified, and I need the output fields to be also (the 20.5 line above doesn't seem to want to behave).

Mervyn,

What is the max length of the input field?

Mervyn,

Try the following DFSORT/ICETOOL job.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                                 
//TOOLMSG   DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//DFSMSG    DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//IN        DD *                                             
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6-
       19.72                                                 
          10                                                 
       28.64                                                 
       18.08                                                 
        20.5                                                 
         550                                                 
         6.4                                                 
       20.99                                                 
//D1        DD DSN=&D1,DISP=(,PASS),SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE)   
//D2        DD DSN=&D2,DISP=(,PASS),SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE)   
//D3        DD DSN=&D3,DISP=(,PASS),SPACE=(CYL,(1,1),RLSE)   
//CON       DD DSN=&D1,DISP=OLD,VOL=REF=*.D1                 
//          DD DSN=&D2,DISP=OLD,VOL=REF=*.D2                 
//          DD DSN=&D3,DISP=OLD,VOL=REF=*.D3                 
//OUT       DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//TOOLIN    DD *                                           
  COPY FROM(IN)  USING(CTL1)                               
  SORT FROM(CON) USING(CTL2)                               
//CTL1CNTL  DD *                                           
  INREC FIELDS=(1,80,SEQNUM,8,ZD)                           
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                         
  OUTFIL FNAMES=D1,INCLUDE=(1,12,SS,NE,C'.'),               
  OUTREC=(1,12,FS,EDIT=(IIIIIIIIT),C'.00',13,76)           
  OUTFIL FNAMES=D2,INCLUDE=(11,1,CH,EQ,C'.'),               
  OUTREC=(1,10,FS,EDIT=(IIIIIIIIT),C'.',12,1,C'0',13,76)   
  OUTFIL FNAMES=D3,SAVE                                     
//CTL2CNTL  DD *                                           
  SORT FIELDS=(81,8,ZD,A)                                   
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,OUTREC=(1,80)                           
/*   


This will produce
Code:

----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6-
       19.72
       10.00
       28.64
       18.08
       20.50
      550.00
        6.40
       20.99


Hope this helps...

Cheers

kolusu

Thanks, Kolusu, that's food for thought. There's more than one of these fields in each record, so it's likely to get very messy, but it's a good place to start thinking. I could always use an E35 exit, of course!
