Hi,

I need to get the count of the number of occurances of the string 'COVER-PAGE-START' into an ouput file.
This string only occurs in column 14 of the FB, LRECL=112 input dataset.

Pls. let me know how this can be done in a JCL using any common utility.



Thanks,
vini

You can use a DFSORT job like the following:

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT                                   
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                 
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file                 
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file                         
//SYSIN DD *                                         
  OPTION COPY                                         
  INCLUDE COND=(14,16,CH,EQ,C'COVER-PAGE START')     
  OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,                           
    TRAILER1=(COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=8))
