Hi Team,

I have two datasets and in one datasets the type of value is Numeric i.e. Zonal Decimal type and in another dataset the type of value in dataset is Packed Decimal.
I need to match off these values using join keys. I tried by converting into same type but getting the error. Below is the code:

Select all

//SORTJNF2 DD DSN=MY.INPUT.SE2,DISP=SHR

For testing purposes, run your JNF2CNTL part as a separate SORT step, to find out what is wrong.

It looks like the author is not interested in resolving his own issue, isn’t it?

First of all take a look: what are the strange lines of code following your //SYSIN DD * statement??
That garbage doesn’t look as any valid statement for any known tool!

Besides if that, do you use any // EXEC statement in your JCL?
Do you suppose only // DD statements are enough for your task?

Hi Sergeyken,

Sorry due to some reason I am not able to respond over the post.
I tried with SORT statement. Below is my poc and the sysout error that I am getting.

My input:
File 1 -1234562021241
File 2 - A@#$@ (@#$@ this is in packed decimal for which actual zonal decimal value is 2021241.

I have to repeat again, in larger font:
First of all - run your statement under //JNF2CNTL as a separate step, and verify carefully: what has been produced?
This is called: debugging of your code. This is your own job, and you are paid for doing this, not for asking for solution from other people.

Thanks sergeyken for your guidance.
Desired output is coming.
