I have a requirement wherein I have to convert fields in the output file in to numeric edit field using JCL.
In the JCL shown below I have for instance in the OUTREC parameter mentioned (1:1,27,
28:28,5,PD,EDIT=(SIIIIIII.TT), ..Here I want to convert the packed decimal field S9(7)V99 in to -Z(7).99
When I run this JCL I get the desired output except that I dont get the sign in the numeric edit field ...instead of the sign I am getting the character S
in the output file.

Code:

//SYSIN        DD *                               
  SORT FIELDS=(1,27,CH,A)                           
  SUM FIELDS=(28,5,PD,38,3,PD,44,2,PD)             
  OUTFIL LRECL=512,                                 
         OUTREC=(1:1,27,                           
                 28:28,5,PD,EDIT=(SIIIIIII.TT),     
                 39:37,1,                           
                 40:38,3,PD,EDIT=(SIIIIT),         
                 46:43,1,                           
                 47:44,2,PD,EDIT=(IIT),             
                 50:47,463)


Thanks

pmsteam,

You need to specify the parm signs when using the edit mask. For DFSORT, the M26 edit mask will give you the same thing, but the older versions of Syncsort doe not support M26.

Code:

//SYSIN        DD *                               
  SORT FIELDS=(1,27,CH,A)                           
  SUM FIELDS=(28,5,PD,38,3,PD,44,2,PD)             
  OUTFIL LRECL=512,                                 
         OUTREC=(1:1,27,                           
                 28:28,5,PD,EDIT=(SIIIIIII.TT),SIGNS=('+','-',,),     
                 39:37,1,                           
                 40:38,3,PD,EDIT=(SIIIIT),SIGNS=('+','-',,),         
                 46:43,1,                           
                 47:44,2,PD,EDIT=(IIT),
                 50:47,463)



Hope this helps...

cheers

Kolusu,

M26 has the pattern ST...T which does not match any of the EDIT patterns pmsteam specified. M25 can be used for SIIIIT (sign is blank for plus and - for minus). M10 can be used for IIT. There isn't any pre-defined mask for SIIIIIII.TT.

But you are right that pmstream needs SIGNS with EDIT when S is specified in the pattern.

DFSORT accepts and ignores LRECL=n on the OUTFIL statement. This and quite a few other parameters that are meaningful for DFSORT/VSE, but not for DFSORT/MVS, are accepted and ignored to make migration from DFSORT/VSE to DFSORT/MVS easier.
