 |
|
Hi All,
I have a requirement like bellow, I can do it in COBOL but just want to know whether its possible by using DFSORT or SYNCSORT.
I have 3 input files and all the files have header/trailer record.
1. If the header record doesn't contain 99 in 15-16th position and 00 in 18-19th position then reject the file.
2. Trailer record contains total count of records ( 10-11th position) along with some other fields. If the count doesn't match with the actual record counts then also reject the file.
Is it possible thru sort ?
| Code: |
HDRXXXXXxxxxxx99x00xxxxxx
detail line1
detail line 2
detail line 3
xxxxxxxxx05batu544xyz
|
Like this three files with different detail lines.
Hope I have explained clearly

What exactly do you mean by "reject the file"? It would help if you'd show examples of input and expected output for various cases. What is the RECFM and LRECL of the input file?
