Hi

This is V.Ram Narayan.. I'm having a small clarification / dought in getting the output file during a srt phase thru JCl... My issue is, her is my infile e.g.

001 V.RAM NARAYAN SOFTWARE ENGINEER 36000 27

and i want my outfile to be like as follows :-

' 001 V.RAM NARAYAN SOFTWARE ENGINEER 36000 27 '

within quotes...my issue is i'm not sure how to convert the first and last byte to single quotes as this file is a VB..
so pls let me know or give me a sort card for achieving this.. appreciated the prompt reply..

Thanks & Regards,
V.Ram NArayan

raam_narayan,

If your input VB file is of length 15 with 11 bytes of data, the following jcl will give you the desired results

Code:
//JAYA005  EXEC  PGM=SORT               
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                 
//SORTIN   DD DISP=SHR,                 
//            DSN=ASOS.JAYA.VBIN2       
//SORTOUT  DD  DSN=ASOS.JAYA.VBOUT1,   
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//             SPACE=(CYL,(40,10),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD  *                       
 OPTION COPY                           
 INREC FIELDS=(1,4,C'''',5)             
 OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,             
           BUILD=(1,4,5)),             
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+05),   
           OVERLAY=(06:C'''')),         
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+06),   
           OVERLAY=(07:C'''')),         
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+07),   
           OVERLAY=(08:C'''')),         
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+08),   
           OVERLAY=(09:C'''')),         
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+09),         
           OVERLAY=(10:C'''')),               
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+10),         
           OVERLAY=(11:C'''')),               
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+11),         
           OVERLAY=(12:C'''')),               
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+12),         
           OVERLAY=(13:C'''')),               
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+13),         
           OVERLAY=(14:C'''')),               
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+14),         
           OVERLAY=(15:C'''')),               
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+15),         
           OVERLAY=(16:C'''')),               
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,EQ,+16),         
           OVERLAY=(17:C''''))                 
/*                                             
//                                             


Hope this helps..

Regards,
Jaya.

With z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90007 or DFSORT R14 PTF UK90006 (April, 2006), you can use DFSORT's new SQZ function to do this quite easily as shown by the DFSORT job below:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (VB/80)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file (VB/80)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
* Add apostrophe before first nonblank and after last noblank.
  INREC OVERLAY=(5:5,76,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT,LEAD=C'''',TRAIL=C''''))
* Remove trailing blanks.
  OUTFIL VLTRIM=C' '
/*


For complete details on all of the new DFSORT and ICETOOL functions available with the April, 2006 PTF, see:
