Need your help. My requirement is currently there is a report which needs to be changed. The Current report does not have header information and the new report should have the header details. can this be acheived through sort?
===============================================================
Current Report [Doesnt have header details]

ABC COMPANY PAGE : 1
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

BCD COMPANY PAGE : 2
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
===============================================================
New Report [header details needs to be added]

Report date:
Report ID :
Run Date :

ABC COMPANY PAGE : 1
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Report date:
Report ID :
Run Date :

BCD COMPANY PAGE : 2
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
===============================================================

The thing is the header details needs to be inserted for every page. Please help me whether this can be acheived through sort. Thanks

Thanks,
Rohit

I am using the below sort card but getting error .

OUTFIL HEADER2=(001:'REPORT DT:',
012:&DATE=(MD4/),
001:'REPORT ID: ',
012:AAAAAA',/,
001:'Run Date:
012:&DATE=(MD4/))
TRAILER1=LINES=55

Have a look at your manual for syntax and examples of TRAILER1. Search for examples here. Google. Experiment. Correct.

Hi Rohit,

You may try this code -

thanks mate! i tired this but getting the below error. please help. also would like to know the significance of "PUSH" field as why (81:ID=4) mentioned. thanks in advance.
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,BEGIN=(121,4,SS,EQ,C'PAGE'),PUSH=(134:ID=4),
*
END=(1,1,CH,EQ,C' '))
WER275A NO KEYWORDS FOUND ON CONTROL STATEMENT

I guess your sort control cards (INREC IFTHEN..) in SYSIN DD * is starting from Position 1. It should be from Position 2. Show us your complete JCL what you have tried...

also would like to know the significance of "PUSH" field as why (81:ID=4) mentioned.

Here PUSH is used to define the input field, sequence number, or identifier that will be overlaid for each group’s records.

ID=n Specifies a printable Zoned Decimal (ZD) identifier n bytes long, which will be added to every record of each group.
For the first group,the identifier will start at 1 and for each subsequent group it will be increased by 1. The number n can be from 1 to 15.

thanks! It worked. It was a silly one. Didnt notice it properly. just one more question. i dont want the Cariage return variable. how to modify the same?

Cariage return variable ? No clue on that...Can you show the sample???

You print the Printer Control Codes in position one on the output? That's what the REMOVECC should do, so provide the information -3nadh asked for.
