I have a control card used in a job which has some run numbers, and I would like to know whether I can increment them through a SORT step. It looks like this --

//SETVAR01 SET WEEK='516'
//SETVAR02 SET ABCGDG='G0365V00'
//SETVAR03 SET XYZGDG='G0367V00'

I want to add a step in my job which will increment all these numbers by 1. Can I do it through SORT?

ANAND.GADRE,

use the following DFSORT JCL which will give you the desired results. This job also automatically resets the counter to 1 when the counts exceeds 999 and 9999.

Select all

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DATA,DLM=$$
//SETVAR01 SET WEEK='516'
//SETVAR02 SET ABCGDG='G0365V00'
//SETVAR03 SET XYZGDG='G0367V00'
$$
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(9,2,ZD,EQ,1),
OVERLAY=(22:+1,ADD,22,3,ZD,EDIT=(TTT))),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(9,2,ZD,GT,1),
OVERLAY=(25:+1,ADD,25,4,ZD,EDIT=(TTTT)))

OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(22,3,ZD,EQ,0),OVERLAY=(24:C'1')),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(25,4,ZD,EQ,0),OVERLAY=(28:C'1'))
//*
