 Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 11:00 am Post subject: FileAid redefines |
 |
|
I am calling FileAid via REXX and am trying to find the syntax in my $$DD01 statement to show fields which have been redefined. Has anyone ever attempted this before?
I was able to get my occurs clause to expand by using the EXPAND_OCCURS=Y. I can't find anything in the manual about how the redefines can be included in the same way. |

Are you able to do this using only FileAid in batch (i.e. no rexx)?

I don't know if the redefines feature is only available in batch? I would think that there would be some way to identify via a parameter that I want the redefined lines to display. I just haven't found it yet.
I've looked in Google, looked in the File-Aid/MVS manual, and gone into File-Aid itself and tried to build JCL through the ISPF screens to see if it would build JCL with a redefines option. The closest thing I have found is a primary command called REDEFINES. It seems to say that REDEFINES ON controls whether data item redefinitions are displayed. It says this command is available in Browse/Edit/Formatted/Vertical Formatted nodes.
I am using another primary command called FPRINT which I saw mentioned in different posts on this site. One of the statements in my REXX program looks as follows:
SYSIN.2 = '$$DD01 FPRINT SHOW=P,LAYOUT=JIMTEST,EXPAND_OCCURS=Y,OUT=5'
This works just fine, but does not show any redefinition. The JIMTEST layout has a REDEFINES clause, which I would like to appear in the output from my FPRINT. |

When i use:
| Code: | | $$DD01 RLPRINT MEMBER=(ACOPYMEM),EXPAND_OCCURS=Y |
the redefinition is expanded:
| Code: | ------- FIELD LEVEL/NAME ---------- --PICTURE-- FLD START END
5 ORIG-AMT 9(9)V99 6 61 71
5 FILLER REDEFINES ORIG-AMT
5 FILLER GROUP 7 61 71
10 ORIG-1ST-BYTE X 8 61 61
10 REST-OF-ORIG 9(8)V99 9 62 71
5 DISP-AMT 9(9)V99 10 72 82 |
Note that the redefinitions are at the proper "start". . .
Does this do what you are looking for?

I can get this to work if I change some of my allocations around.
Is there a way that the dataset which is using this layout can be displayed so that each piece of data is shown alongside the fields? That is my reason for using FPRINT.
Notice the difference below between RLPRINT and FPRINT. RLPRINT shows the field AGE-REDEF, but does not display the contents of my dataset. FPRINT shows the contents of the dataset, but ignores the field called AGE-REDEF. I am trying to get that field to show up along with its contents. Thanks for your help!
From RLPRINT, I get the following:
| Code: |
------- FIELD LEVEL/NAME ---------- --PICTURE-- FLD START END
TEST-LAYOUT 1 28
5 FIRST-NAME X(10) 1 1 10
5 LAST-NAME X(12) 2 11 22
5 AGE 99 3 23 24
5 AGE-REDEF REDEFINES AGE
5 AGE-REDEF XX 4 23 24
5 PREVIOUS-AGE(1) OCCURS 2 TIMES
99 5 25 26
5 PREVIOUS-AGE(2) 99 5 27 28
|
From FPRINT, I get the following:
| Code: |
---- FIELD LEVEL/NAME ------- PICTURE- ----+----1----+----2----+----3--
5 FIRST-NAME X(10) JOHN
5 LAST-NAME X(12) HAIRE
5 AGE 99 49
5 PREVIOUS-AGE(1) OCCURS 2 TIMES
99 48
5 PREVIOUS-AGE(2) 99 47

I'm not finding much on this. I think I'll have to do an RLPRINT to determine the layout (with redefines) and then do an FPRINT to determine the data associated with each field. Then I'll go back and use logic to determine how the data would fit into the redefined fields.
Thanks for looking into this. |
