Can you please help some one?

Input File

----+----1
AAAAA
AAAAA
BBBBB
BBBBB
BBBBB
BBBBB
BBBBB
CCCCC
DDDDD
DDDDD
DDDDD
EEEEE
EEEEE
EEEEE
EEEEE

Expected Out Put

There are 15 lines (02 AAAAA, 05 BBBBB, 01 CCCCC, 03 DDDDD, 04 EEEEE) on Wednesday 02/15/2012.

Lay out of Input File-1
1-5 bytes Field-A

I need output as total number Field-A and each Field-A how many times it is occurred? And at end of the line it has to give yesterdays date (indicates this report for yesterday)

If it is not possible to generate the report in the above manner, please provide any report format which will gives all the above information (Total number of Field-A and individual Field-A numbers )

I am OK, if the above requirements have more than 1 step also.

try something along the lines of

Select all

000004 //ICE EXEC PGM=SORT
000005 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
000006 //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
000007 //DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
000008 //SORTIN DD *
000009 AAAAA
000010 BBBBB
000011 BBBBB
000012 BBBBB
000013 CCCCC
000014 CCCCC
000015 CCCCC
000016 CCCCC
000017 //SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80)
000018 //SYSIN DD *
000019 OPTION EQUALS
000020 SORT FIELDS=(1,5,CH,A)
000021 OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
000022 SECTIONS=(1,5,
000023 TRAILER3=(1,5,11:COUNT=(M10,LENGTH=5))),
000024 TRAILER1=('ALL ',11:COUNT=(M10,LENGTH=5))

to get ...

Select all

********************************* TOP OF DATA **********************************
AAAAA 1
BBBBB 3
CCCCC 4
ALL 8
******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA ********************************

to get the info in one line You must set some limit on the number of <keys> to be counted

(*) tested wit DFSORT, from having seen it lurking on the forum SYNCSORT should behave in the same way

Hi Enrico
Thanks for code and perfectly is working, the format which you have given is good,
IT WOULD BE GREATE if report contains yesterdays date and day. As well.
Like below

Select all

AAAAA 1
BBBBB 3
CCCCC 4
ALL 8

PFB for counters for Wednesday 02/15/2012
or
PFB for counters for 02/15/2012 Wednesday

It would even better if you gave all the requirements in the first post

I think there is no specific function/logic to generate day's value in Syncsort.
You have to go for Programming language (Either Cobol or SAS or etc...).

Thanks

since syncsort is pretty much aligned with dfsort
also syncsort should have the DATEx functions and the WEEKDAY function to do a bit of manipulations on date
it should be enough to check the manual

since <real writers> write around the problems, I did the same
used

Select all

000019 OPTION EQUALS
000020 SORT FIELDS=(1,5,CH,A)
000021 INREC OVERLAY=(81:DATE1(-)-1)
000022 OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
000023 SECTIONS=(1,5,
000024 TRAILER3=(1,5,C'*',COUNT=(M10,LENGTH=10),C'*')),
000025 TRAILER1=('ALL ',C'*',COUNT=(M10,LENGTH=10),C'*',/,
000026 'DATE ',C'*',81,10)

to obtain

Select all

********************************* TOP OF DATA **********************************
AAAAA* 1*
BBBBB* 3*
CCCCC* 4*
ALL * 8*
DATE *2012-02-16
******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA ********************************

horrid hack, but it works ( for DFSORT at least )

a SYNCSORT expert might come up with a better solution
