i am trying to merge two files and do some processing using icetool but failing. please help.

it has two input files:
input1: (contains unqiue jobnames and some data)

Code:

PTUMSG1D  xxx
PTUAM04D xxx
PTUNA81D xxx


input2: (contains duplicate jobnames and some data also)

Code:

PTUMSG9D yyy
PTUMSG9D yyy
PTUMSG9D yyy
PTUMSG1D yyy
PTUAM04D yyy
PTUAM04D yyy
PTUAM04D yyy
PTUAM04D yyy
PTUNA91D yyy


desired output: (should be from input2 with all duplicates but only those records with jobnames which are in input1)
Code:

PTUMSG1D yyy
PTUAM04D yyy
PTUAM04D yyy
PTUAM04D yyy
PTUAM04D yyy


the jcl icetool card that i am using is: (fyi. 1-8 is jobname and 35 is the totlal length of both the input files)

Code:
 
  COPY   FROM(INPUT1)   TO(FILEMRGE)                                   
  COPY   FROM(INPUT2)   TO(FILEMRGE)                                   
  SPLICE FROM(FILEMRGE) TO(MERGESP) ON(1,8,CH) WITHALL WITH(36,35)     



I believe, the WITHALL option should work but it's not working.

Please suggest.

thanks a lot.

amit,

Your job is missing some key pieces. Here's a DFSORT/ICETOOL job that will do what you asked for:

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//IN1 DD DSN=...  input file1 (FB/35)
//IN2 DD DSN=...  input file2 (FB/35)
//T1 DD DSN=&&T1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(MOD,PASS)
//OUT DD DSN=...  output file (FB/35)
//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(IN1) TO(T1) USING(CTL1)
COPY FROM(IN2) TO(T1) USING(CTL2)
SPLICE FROM(T1) TO(OUT) ON(1,8,CH) -
  WITHALL WITH(1,36) USING(CTL3)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
  INREC OVERLAY=(36:C'BB')
/*
//CTL2CNTL DD *
  INREC OVERLAY=(36:C'VV')
/*
//CTL3CNTL DD *
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,INCLUDE=(36,2,CH,EQ,C'VB'),
    BUILD=(1,35)
/*
