Hi,

My input file (LRECL=80, RECFM=FB) contains sets of records and I need to assign 6 digit sequence number for each set of records. Each set of records start with '01' and ends with '99' type in column 1 (2 byte field). Each set of record can be distinguished by looking at column 6 (10 bytes length) of input record. The output file should be LRECL=80 and RECFM=FB. We are using "SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.2.3.1R".

Input:

Hello,

This is untested. But you can give this a try. I have assumed an output LRECL of 86.

Select all

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN= Input file (FB/80)
//SORTOUT DD DSN= Output file (FB/86)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,BUILD=(SEQNUM,6,ZD,1,80)),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(7,2,CH,EQ,C'01'),
OVERLAY=(1:SEQNUM,6,ZD)),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=NONE,
OVERLAY=(87:SEQNUM,6,ZD,01:01,6,ZD,SUB,87,6,ZD,M11,LENGTH=6))
OUTREC BUILD=(1,86)
