Hi,
I want to merge files in a particular fashion
The first record should be from file1, second from file 2, 3rd from file1 and so on.
File1:
00000000000001000000000000000000000000
00000000000002000000000000000000000000
00000000000003000000000000000000000000

why don't you spend some time searching the utilities forum, look at the stickies, etc? _________________ Dick Brenholtz

Hari,
If the records in file1 and file2 actually have sequence numbers in 1-14 as shown, you could do a simple MERGE using the sequence numbers as the key like this:

if the sequence number is not present as shown, I suppose we could presrve Frank's idea by concatenate the files and create an extra field using a INREC with SEQNUM and RESTART=(16,2) parameters (bold field) then MERGE based on this extra field.

I think MERGE will not work. Sort card would be better...
You mean MERGE wouldn't work if the sequence numbers were not present and you had to generate them ... right? MERGE will work if the sequence numbers are present.

I think you mean 15,2 (00 in file1 or 01 in file2) but that assumes those values are really in the input records and the sequence numbers aren't. Possible I guess, but ... _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)

Frank,
I talked about my post not yours
By MERGE will not work, I meant that it will not work if the files are concatenated. Replacing MERGE per a SORT card will do it.
