You have Syncsort. Kolusu works for IBM's DFSORT and it would be unfair to expect his aid with questions for a competitor product.

Please consult your documentation to see whether IFTRAIL exists in Syncsort.

Hello,

IFTRAIL is not mentioned in the current Syncsort documentation. . .

If you post some sample input data and the output you want when this input is processed, someone may be able to show an alternative. Also post which release/level of Syncsort is being used.
