Hi Frank,

Is there an easy way to identify the Version or PTF of DFSORT available in the shop.

Thanks

Maheswari,

May be Frank will show you an easier way to determine the PTF's. You can run a sample job to determine each PTF.

To determine if your shop had PTF UQ95214 and PTF UQ95213,(Dec, 2004)

Code:

//STEP0100  EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN    DD *
0001 20041210
0004
0007 20041110
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD    *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(6,8,CH,EQ,C' '),OVERLAY=(6:DATE1))
/*


If you get a syntax error on IFTHEN parm, then your shop does not have the PTF installed.

To determine if your shop had PTF UQ90053 (Feb, 2003)

Code:

//STEP0100  EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN    DD *
2003-04-19-16.52.45
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD    *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  INCLUDE COND=(1,19,CH,GT,DATE4) 
/*


If you get a syntax error on DATE4 parm, then your shop does not have the PTF installed.

If your sysout has messages starting WERxxx, then you're using Syncsort, so you won't be able to use ALL the features of DFSORT.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

z/OS DFSORT V1R5 has UQ90053 as part of the base so it doesn't need to be installed. UQ95214 needs to be installed for z/OS DFSORT V1R5. UQ95213 and UQ90053 need to be installed for DFSORT R14.

Your System Programmer should be able to tell you which DFSORT PTFs are installed. But you can use the jobs Kolusu shows to tell if UQ95214/UQ95213 is installed (which would mean that UQ90053 is installed), or if just UQ90053 is installed.

However, I ususally suggest this simpler OVERLAY job to determine if UQ95214/UQ95213 is installed rather than the IFTHEN job, although both are ok.

Code:

//S1  EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN    DD *
//SORTOUT  DD DUMMY
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC OVERLAY=(5:C'A')
/*


If you don't have UQ95214 or UQ95213, you'll get a syntax error for the new OVERLAY parameter.

If you don't have UQ95214 (z/OS DFSORT V1R5) or UQ95213 (DFSORT R14), ask your System Programmer to install it (it's free). Installing it will bring in all the earlier functional PTFs (e.g. UQ90053).

Kolusu and Frank,

Thanks for your inputs.

I had test run the jobs provided and OVERLAY and IFTHEN function do give me the error whereas later job from kolusu was successesful. I will contact my System Programmer for this. Thanks for your help.
