Hi ,

I want to insert the character 'X' at the end of each records. For this, i have coded the icetool program like the below.


Control cards:
COPY FROM(DATEFL) TO(TEMP1) USING(CTL1)
SUBSET FROM(INFL) TO(TEMP2) REMOVE INPUT HEADER TRAILER USING(CTL2)


CTL1:
OUTFIL FNAMES=TEMP1,FTOV,
BUILD=(1:C'H#',3:C'ABCDEFGH',11:2X,13:1,8,21:2112X,2133:C'X')

CTL2:
OUTFIL FNAMES=TEMP2,FTOV,
BUILD=(1:1,2132,2133:C'X'),
TRAILER1=(1:C'T#',3:C'ABCDEFGH',
11:2X,13:COUNT=(EDIT=(TTTTTTTT)),2133:C'X'),
REMOVECC


***************************************************
date file:
----+----1
**********
20010124

Input file:
DETAIL RECORD1
DETAIL RECORD2
.
.
.
.
DETAIL RECORD777


Expected output:
output file:
H#ABCDEFGH 20010124 X(LAST FIELD)
DETAIL RECORD1 X(LAST FIELD)
DETAIL RECORD2 X(LAST FIELD)
. X(LAST FIELD)
. X(LAST FIELD)
. X(LAST FIELD)
. X(LAST FIELD)
DETAIL RECORD777 X(LAST FIELD)
T#ABCDEFGH 00000777 X(LAST FIELD)



Input file --> LRECL = 2136, VB File
Output file--> LRECL = 2137, VB File(to insert last character as X)

when i submit the job i am getting the below abend. i tried modifying the control cards in trial and error methods but invain.


Abend: ICE218A 3 360 BYTE VARIABLE RECORD IS SHORTER THAN 2132 BYTE MINIMUM FOR TEMP2


Note: Detail record lengh can be vary like 360, 361, 400.

The above code works fine for header and trailer but not for detail records. ie, when i remove the below build statement, my JOB works fine but the indicator value(X) appears only for header and trailer.

So Can anyone please confirm whether the below statement is valid for CTL2.
BUILD=(1:1,2132,2133:C'X'),

If your records are 360, 361 and 400, what do you think will happen with



Why do you want an X at 2137? All your records will then be 2137, so why would you need them to be "variable" anymore?

Perhaps an explanation of what you want will be useful?

Existing code produces the result from the input file with variable record(2136 length).
Requirement has come to insert 'X' at the last position of the output file(variable record with the length of 2137)

Well, just OVERLAY=(2133:C'X') instead of the BUILD. I just don't see the point of then making them variable, if every record is 2133 bytes, you just waste four bytes per record to make them "variable-length-records-of-a-single-size".

tjegan,

Apart from Bill's caution about making all the variable records the same length. The control cards you show and the error message you received does not match.

CTL1 and CTL2 are both expecting an FB input file which you are converting to a VB file. However you claim that your Input is already VB file and in that case you would have got a different error ICE251A 9 MISSING RDW OR DATA . Show us the complete sysout instead of bits and pieces.

Please note that the DATEFL file is FB format.
INFL -> VB Format.
Temp1,Temp2 -> VB Format

Since your INFL is VB, why do you FTOV it? If you don't know the answer directly, look up FTOV in the manuals, please.

tjegan,

If you INFL is already an VB file , you don't need the FTOV parm on CTL2. You also don't have to hardcode the LRECL and RECFM in the JCL. so remove the 2 statements in TEMP1 and TEMP2 definitions


You don't need them. DFSORT is smart enough to calculate the LRECL and RECFM from the input dataset or parameters.

Change your CTL2CNTL to the following which will fix your error.

The above code works fine.Thanks for million .
