Cogito,

I may be missing something here, but I don't exactly see a delete in the above process. The first copy operator is copying a flat file with a false include cond which will create just 1 record with spaces as you are using header parm.

Now you take the output flat file and load it into a vsam ksds file let us say Cluster1

Now the cluster1 ksds has one record with all spaces in it

Now you are using a sort with a omit cond to copy cluster1 to another vsam KSDS let us say cluster2. Since you are omitting records with spaces this sort function will end in sorting zero records to cluster2.

Now my question is where exactly are you DELETING a record from the KSDS?

Cogito,

I missed that you allocated the same VSAM file for both OT01 & OT02 DD Names. Sorry about that.

Thanks

Kolusu

No apologies!

Maybe I should have been clearer with DSN.
