combine CONVERT & TRAN=ALTSEQ

Postby ranga_subham » Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:47 pm

Hi,

Can we combine CONVERT & TRAN=ALTSEQ features while converting a VB to FB? Please help me with an example code.

Thanks.

Please provide an example of what you are trying to accomplish and then we may be able to provide you with some sample JCL.
What does your input data look like? What is your desired output? Please include the LRECL of both files as well.

Alissa, my input file (LRECL=133, RECFM=VB) has data as shown below:

----+----1----+----2----+
.00000191122.00001.
.00000183438.00001.
.00000110289.00001.


Upon viewing it with HEX ON, I find low values (X'00',X'05',X'06',X'07' etc) at many places. My requirement is to copy this VB file to FB file of 80 bytes and at the same time to convert all these low values to spaces.

Thanks.

Since your input data set is VB/133 and you want your output FB/80, you are obviously truncating the data. So do you want the 80 bytes to include the RDW (1,80) or include the 80 bytes after the RDW (5,80)?

If you want the RDW included, then here is one way of accomplishing this task:
//SYSIN DD  *                                                     
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                 
  ALTSEQ CODE=(0040,0140,0240,0340,0440,0540,0640,0740,0840,0940) 
  OUTREC FIELDS=(1,80,TRAN=ALTSEQ),CONVERT                         
/*                                                                 

In SyncSort for z/OS 1.3.2, this can also be accomplished using FINDREP instead of ALTSEQ.

Thanks. I don't want the RDW because I don't know if it becomes valid data to be read ! Though the length of input file is 133 the real data appears till 67th column only. That way I don't get it truncated if copied to 80 byte output file.

Then you can simply modify the OUTREC statement as follows:
OUTREC FIELDS=(5,80,TRAN=ALTSEQ),CONVERT

Hi Alisa,

I have similar kind of issue.

Input file : Record format . . . : FBA
Record length . . . : 75
Input:
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
000001 AAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAA AAAA AAAAAA AA AAA AAA AAA AAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA
001250504158060000000964350364502815330950993045706120453535402433522643454445555544
00125050415806000000096435036450281533095099304570612045353540243352264345556655555B

and trying to copy to the FB file with the record length 80 using the sort.

I have used the below code to convert first two bytes of x'00' and last x'4B' to x'40'. and it changed as expected, but after that i could see
x'00' in the output file.

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
ALTSEQ CODE=(0040,4B40)
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,80,TRAN=ALTSEQ)
/*

Ouput file:
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
000001 AAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAA AAAA AAAAAA AA AAA AAA AAA AAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA
441250504158060000000964350364502815330950993045706120453535402433522643400000 001250504158060000000964350364502815330950993045706120453535402433522643000000
can you please let me know how to change this to spaces.

Hello,

Suggest you copy what is good from this reply into a new topic considering:
1. the output appears shorter than the input
2 use the Code tag for data that needs to be aligned (Not colors)
3. there are no x'00's in the input, so why are they in the output?
Hope this helps,
d.sch.
