Hi,
I tried using the method mentioned in the "Change all zeros in your records to spaces" Smart DFSORT Trick at:

http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/software/sort/mvs/tricks/

However looks like, SYNCSORT does not support TRANS=ALTSEQ. Could someone please tell me the alternate syntax??

Thanks,
Puru

patnekar,

If you have syncsort z/OS then it supports the feature ALTSEQ. I guess you have an older version of syncsort. If you have file-aid at your shop then you can use to replace all low-values to spaces.

I just want to remind you that this topic has been discussed earlier and please search before posting the question. check this topic which exactly discusses your problem.

Hope this helps...

cheers

Kolusu,
Thanks for the reply and sorry for not having searched fully. I do not have file-aid in my shop, so is there anyway I can do this using SYNCSORT, or do I have to write a COBOL pgm to do the same??

Thanks,
Puru

Patnekar,

well there is a way to change all the low-values to spaces. But this would involve coding a change command for each and every position in your file.Assuming that your input file is 80 bytes Lrecl and FB format, the following JCL will give you the desired results.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                   
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                   
//SORTIN    DD DSN=YOUR INPUT DSN,
//             DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT   DD DSN=YOUR OUTPUT DSN,
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//             UNIT=SYSDA,
//             SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN     DD *                           
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                         
  OUTFIL OUTREC=(01,1,CHANGE=(1,X'00',X'40'),NOMATCH=(01,1),
                02,1,CHANGE=(1,X'00',X'40'),NOMATCH=(02,1),
                03,1,CHANGE=(1,X'00',X'40'),NOMATCH=(03,1),
                04,1,CHANGE=(1,X'00',X'40'),NOMATCH=(04,1),

PS: If your input lrecl is bigger than I would suggest writting a cobol pgm with 1 single INSPECT statement and get the desired results.
