JOINKEYS output without SORT

Postby ranga_subham » Fri Dec 07, 2012 6:36 pm

Hi,

I am using below given JCL to pull matching data from FILE2 but getting it in SORTED which I am not able to avoid :(
We use SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.3.2.2R and it does not have NOSEQCK option :shock:

//SORT0001 EXEC PGM=SORT 
//SORTJNF1 DD *           
ABC123
BOL943
MEK035
//SORTJNF2 DD DSN=ANOTHER.MATCH.FILE,DISP=SHR
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                             
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                             
//SYSIN    DD *                                                     
  OPTION COPY                                                       
  JOINKEYS FILE=F1,FIELDS=(1,6,A)                                   
  JOINKEYS FILE=F2,FIELDS=(6,6,A)                                   
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F2:1,80)                                         


How can I get WITHOUT sorted? Please help.

Thanks.

You don't have NOSEQCK, but you still have SORTED which you can put on the JOINKEYS and the file will not be sorted.

  JOINKEYS FILE=F1,FIELDS=(1,6,A),SORTED

a join process needs the files sorted on the join key .

if the original sequence is different the only way is to resort on the original
if the original is not sorted on <some> key You should add a sequence number as virtual sorting key

You show one file as sorted, the other you don't show, so it is unsorted.

To match on the keys you show, the second file needs to be in key order. If you then need the output in the original order, you are going to have to sort it again, either on a generated sequence number, or on anything on the file which will give you the original order (If you used EQUALS for any original sorting).
