Copying the VB file to VB file

Postby Dhanu0009 » Tue Sep 17, 2019 6:27 pm

Hi Team,
I have a requirement to copy the VB file of rec-length:4580 to VB file based on Delimitor count upto 95 only from each record even if input record has more that delimitor fields only.Each field is associated with the | delimitor.need to truncate the fields after 95th delimitor.Can you please help

Infile:
1|2|3|...………..|95|96|...…|9999

Output:
1|2|3|...….|95

Why Easytrieve? If I understand you through all the mud of your description then this is simple in DFSort/Syncsort - simply parse out the first 95 fields and build your output using those 95 fields.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Thank you for quick reply...By using the Parse, we are building the fixed record legth w.r.to field length. let say field-1in input file has X(06) but content as ABC|DEF|..... etc. But with the parse the output will be ABC |CDF |...etc ...how we can exclude the spaces in outrec.I tried with Parse but not getting how to remove those spaces after building the field length fields

Input file:
LG|LG||065065042|20190613|20190613|10600|DWTF|101||103K40B00001GD|

Parse-Output:

LG |LG | |065065042 |20190613|20190613|

Expected-Output:
LG|LG||065065042|20190613|20190613|10600|DWTF|101||103K40B00001GD|..upto 95 | dleimitors only.

Show your control cards - and use the code tags when posting data - especially when there are multiple spaces.

 OUTREC BUILD=(%1... %95)...
 OUTFIL FTOV,                           change RECFM to VB
       BUILD=(1,length,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT)), remove all intermediate spaces
       VLTRIM=C' '                     truncate tail spaces as well    

Alternatively, parameter SQZ can be applied to each of 95 parsed fields (OMG!)

If dataset is not expected to be a huge one then REXX code can be simplified, and I/O optimized
/* REXX */                                                          
/* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . */

"EXECIO * DISKR INFILE (FINIS"                                      
TotalLines = Queued()                                                
Do iRec = 1 To TotalLines                                            
   Parse Pull OldRecord                                              
   NextPos = 1                                                      
   Do iField = 1 To 95                                              
      SkipTo = Index( OldRecord, '|', NextPos )                      
      If SkipTo = 0 Then Do      /* less than 95 separators? */      
         NextPos = Length(OldRecord) + 1  /* use full record */      
         Leave iField            /* break search */                  
      End                                                            
      NextPos = SkipTo + 1   /* continue after next separator */    
   End iField                                                        
   GoodSize = NextPos - 1                                            
   NewRecord = Left( OldRecord, GoodSize )                          
   Queue NewRecord

@ sergeyken, Can you please help to elaborate the SORT ccard w.r.to one field with SQZ and VLTRIM

Input:
HR|20190613|GD|1|1|
LG|LG||065065042|20190613|20190613|.....
LG|LG||065065042|20190613|20190613|.....
TR|2|20190613|0|202|0|2|

Output With Parse:
HR |201906|GD |1 |1 | |
LG |LG | |065065042 |20190613|20190613|

What do you need to elaborate that is not in the manual? Why are you making your fields fixed length?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Why are you making your fields fixed length?--> Is there any other option not to use FIXLEN parameter through PARSE
