Inserting the string in an empty PS file by usiing Sortcard

Postby kabirex » Wed Feb 16, 2011 10:26 am

Hi,

Could pls anyone let me know how to insert a string in empty PS file by using Sortcard? In JCL, the SORTIN should be dummy and SORTOUT should be that empty Ps file in which the string to be inserted.

It would be great if the sample sortcard and jcl is given. Thanks!

What you are saying is you want to write a fixed record to a new dataset. I have to think there are simpler solutions than using a sort product! IEBDG anyone?

Look at the manual this link points to. You will find at least two programs that will do the task you want. We will not, indeed, we cannot, do your work for you.

kabirex,

You can do this with DFSORT. But you need to give more information. What is the RECFM and LRECL of the output file? What do you want the output record to look like exactly?

Empty PS file's RECFM is FB and lrecl is 80. I wanna insert the string 'SUCCESS' into empty PS file.

Use the following DFSORT JCL

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT             
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*               
//SORTIN   DD *                     
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=Your output file,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(TRK,(1,0),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD *                     
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                   
  OUTFIL REMOVECC,HEADER1=('SUCCESS')

the SORTIN should be dummy


If you want the SORTIN to be DUMMY instead of DD *, you can use:

//SORTIN DD DUMMY,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80
