i am using DFSORT REL 14.0

That is a very OLD version of DFSORT. So most of the solutions posted here will not work.
Not true at all! With the appropriate PTFs applied (through the Dec, 2004 PTF), DFSORT R14 has all of the functions available with z/OS DFSORT V1R5 except for NULLOUT and NULLOFL.
Note that ADD has been available for DFSORT R14 since Feb, 2003. _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)

i am using SORT to display DATE ,TIME and HEADERS and PAGE numbers also and some other processing.I am not well conversant with ICETOOL.How can i achieve the DATE,TIME,PAGE,HEADERS repeating and TRAILER.
Look at my example again. You can see that I used TRAILER1 in CTL2CNTL. This is the same TRAILER1 you can use with PGM=SORT. You can use HEADERx and TRAILERx with date, time, page and all the other functions this way with ICETOOL in the same way you would use them for PGM=SORT.
To add to the DFSORT references that Kolusu posted, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
I am trying to acheive the results using ICETOOL and i expecting my output to be:
Code:
***************************** Top of Data ******************************
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7--
PAGE: 1
DATE: 01/08/2006
TIME: 12:36:17
SUMMARY REPORT
EMPLOYEE EEMPLOYEE EMPLOYEE
NUMBER NAME DEPT
------- --------- --------
**************************** Bottom of Data ****************************
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7----+----8
********************************* Top of Data **********************************
SUMMARY REPORT - 1 - 01/08/2006 12:36:17
EMPLOYEE EMPLOYEE EMPLOYEE
NUMBER NAME DEPT
-------------------- -------------------- --------------------
I am unable to generate the desired results and i have few queries based on my understandings which after my succesive reading i am unable to get the desired results:
a)how can we print a normal line (a simple line) not a TITLE / HEADER like below and a blank line after it
Code:
SUMMARY REPORT
b)I am getting the results where in page no is shown as - 1 - .How do i achive my results which i am desiring as above
c)How do i truncate the heading lines to fit in the appropriate width like
Code:
EMPLOYEE
NUMBER
--------------------
to
Code:
EMPLOYEE
NUMBER
--------
d)If we need to have a display like below,how can i achieve
I am trying my level best to understand the logic used for getting the desired results for the ICETOOL JOB,but i am unable to understand the sequence of steps.Can you please higlight the steps used so that i can get a clear understanding of the output how it was derived.I would like to take this is as an example for my excercise and i would like to learn and i would like to create similar kind of reports .Please explain me just the sequence of steps used.
Can this logic be used if i had input like below with changes ? How can i achieve the results as below if the fourth paramater can also have some values ?

You can't do that kind of specific report layout with ICETOOL's DISPLAY. You have to use the report features of DFSORT's OUTFIL. TRAILERx is an operand of OUTFIL.
Your questions are very broad. I think the first step is for you to spend some time understanding how various things in DFSORT/ICETOOL work.
For a good overall understanding of DFSORT and ICETOOL, I'd suggest going through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
