Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2006 11:28 am Post subject: how to change TOTAL to numeric, right justifield in sort

Code:

//STEP2 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=xxxxxx.file01.OUT001.PP.COUNT,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL NODETAIL,
TRAILER1=(COUNT)

and I am getting the out put. But now, I want this output to be in numeric format, righ justified. I tried the following code, but I am getting a syntax error

Code:

SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL NODETAIL,
TRAILER1=(COUNT=(1,15,ZD,(EDIT=IIIIIIT))

Could anyone help?

Thanks
JA

jimmy_augustine,

The latest versions of sort enable to have edit format on count function. try this

Code:

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
TRAILER1=(COUNT=(EDIT=(TTTTTTTTT)))

If you have older versions of sort then try this

Code:

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(SEQNUM,9,ZD,80:X)
OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
TRAILER1=(1,9)
/*

This will produce a 9 byte count on the output file

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Code:

SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL NODETAIL,
TRAILER1=(COUNT=(1,15,ZD,(EDIT=IIIIIIT))

You get the syntax error because you have 1,15,ZD inside the COUNT parameter. COUNT is a 15-byte value already, so 1,15,ZD isn't needed. The correct syntax is:

Code:

SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL NODETAIL,
TRAILER1=(COUNT=(EDIT=IIIIIIT))

If you don't want the ANSI carriage control character, you can specify REMOVECC.
