Hi All,

I have two files as below

File1: Rec len - 300
key1 - 1,5

File2; Rec len - 200
key2 - 6,5

I want to have single file as below. no matching need to be done.
Output file structure:
1st byte - A - for file1 record/B for file2 record
2 to 4 - AAA if Key1 is 111 for file1 record(mutiple keys and mapping is there)/BBB if Key2 for file2(mutiple keys and mapping is there)
5 to 304 - Place file 1 records in this position
305 to 504 - Place file 2 records in this position.

to explain the process first file1 records need to be written into output file
with
1 - A
2 to 4 - AAA
5 to 304 - file1 record
305 to 504 - spaces

then file2 records need to be written into output file as below
1 - B
2 to 4 - BBB
5 to 304 - spaces
305 to 504 - file2 record.

Please help me with suitable job if this can be done in SORT.
Sorry if this is duplicate post and similar problem is already answered, please guide me to the post, I already searched but couldn't find any such.

Thank you

psmadhusudhan,

Sigh ! I sincerely wish you paid attention to the questions posted earlier. I asked about the RECFM of the file and a sample data, however you did not provide either of them.

Either way use the following DFSORT JCL which will give you the results assuming that the input files have RECFM=FB
