Compare two datasets. Compare the whole record

Postby crescencio » Fri Jun 12, 2009 4:25 pm

Hi,

I need some help two compare two datasets (Day 1 / Day 2).
The files are FB and 10300 bytes record length.

The records can be matched by key but I need to extract only those that are in Day 2 but not in Day 1 file and those that have changed in some part of the record.

I have found some ideas in this forum, but the only way that I have found to expand the comparision to the whole record is to declare th JOINKEYS to 10300.
It works with test files of 30 bytes but not with real files.
I receive a message like this "WER271A JOINKEYS STATEMENT: NUMERIC FIELD ERROR2".

If you can help with this or can suggest me a different tool that fit better with the request I will appreciate.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Please post the JCL you submitted when you received that error. Thank you.

Hi,

First I run a JCL like this to test if the idea could work. Considering the first five numeric characters the real key.
000005 //STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT                                           
000006 //SORTJNF1 DD *                                                 
000007 12345AAAAABBBBBB                                                 
000008 67890CCCCCAAAAAA                                                 
000009 13579DDDDDEEEEEE                                                 
000010 //SORTJNF2 DD *                                                 
000011 12345CCCCCBBBBBB                                                 
000012 13579DDDDDEEEEEE                                                 
000013 08531DDDDDEEEEEE                                                 
000014 //SORTOF01 DD DSN=W#H00I.PRUEBA.TRES,                           
000015 //            DISP=(NEW,CATLG),                                 
000016 //            UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(100,100))                   
000017 //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                             
000018 //SYSIN    DD    *                                               
000019   JOINKEYS FILES=F1,FIELDS=(1,16,A)                             
000020   JOINKEYS FILES=F2,FIELDS=(1,16,A)                             
000021   REFORMAT FIELDS=(F2:1,16,F1:1,16),FILL=X'FF'                   
000022   JOIN UNPAIRED,F2                                               
000023   SORT FIELDS=COPY                                               
000024   OUTFIL FILES=01,INCLUDE=(1,1,BI,NE,X'FF',AND,17,1,BI,EQ,X'FF'),
000025       OUTREC=(1,16),FTOV,VLTRIM=X'FF'                           


This JCL produce in dataset PRUEBA.TRES the following output
 DSLIST    W#H00I.PRUEBA.TRES
 Command ===>               
*****************************
08531DDDDDEEEEEE             
12345CCCCCBBBBBB             
*****************************

These two records are Ok because the first one is not in Day 1 file and the second one exits in Day 1 but with different information.

Then I tried with a real JCL like this one.
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT                                               
//SORTJNF1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DAY.ONE
//SORTJNF2 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DAY.TWO                 
//SORTOF01 DD DSN=W#H00I.PRUEBA.CUATRO,                             
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG),                                     
//            UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(100,100))                     
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSIN    DD    *                                                 
  JOINKEYS FILES=F1,FIELDS=(1,10300,A)                             
  JOINKEYS FILES=F2,FIELDS=(1,10300,A)                             
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F2:1,10300,F1:1,10300),FILL=X'FF'               
  JOIN UNPAIRED,F2                                                 
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                 
  OUTFIL FILES=01,INCLUDE=(1,1,BI,NE,X'FF',AND,10301,1,CH,NE,X'FF'),
      OUTREC=(1,10300),FTOV,VLTRIM=X'FF'                           


And I got the error
  JOINKEYS FILES=F1,FIELDS=(1,10300,A)                             
                              *                                     
  JOINKEYS FILES=F2,FIELDS=(1,10300,A)                             
                              *                                     
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F2:1,10300,F1:1,10300),FILL=X'FF'               
  JOIN UNPAIRED,F2                                                 
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                 
  OUTFIL FILES=01,INCLUDE=(1,1,BI,NE,X'FF',AND,10301,1,CH,NE,X'FF'),
      OUTREC=(1,10300),FTOV,VLTRIM=X'FF'                           
WER271A  JOINKEYS STATEMENT: NUMERIC FIELD ERROR                   
WER271A  JOINKEYS STATEMENT: NUMERIC FIELD ERROR                   


Thanks a lot for your interest.

Try this SyncSort for z/OS job:
