Testing exactly number of lines of a dataset

Postby samb01 » Wed Feb 06, 2019 6:51 pm

Hello,

i'd like to know if a dataset have 8 lines ofr exemple, not less and not more.

I am using this jcl but it's not correct if the Dataset Have more than 8 lines


//VERIFSMS  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS                          
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                              
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                              
//SYSIN    DD *            
  PRINT IDS('MY.DATASET') COUNT(8)    
/*                                                  
//                                                  
 

if my dataset have more or less than 8 lines, the return code must be différent than 0.

Thanks for your help.

I know of no utility that does what you want. You will have to write your own. It might be possibe using DFSort seqnum but that is just an idea that floated into my head.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

A small COBOL program can easily count records and it could set RETURN-CODE to whatever you like.

DFSORT's ICETOOL COUNT FROM (indd) EQUAL(8) RC(8) might help. This will set return code 8 if there are exactly 8 records in the dataset.
