HI,

I have a requirement where in I want to copy all the records until a specific condition is satisfied.

Can we obtain this using syncsort?

Input:

AAAAA
BBBBB
BBBBB
CCCCC
EEEEEE
FFFFFFF

OUTPUT:
AAAAA
BBBBB
BBBBB

Sort condition : Stop copying when finding 'CCCCC'. (It can be in anywhere in the file).

Thanks,
Vivek G

vivek1983,

Try this


Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT                                 
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//SORTIN   DD DSN=YOUR INPUT FILE,
//            DISP=SHR                       
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=&T1,DISP=(,PASS),SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD *                                         
 SORT FIELDS=COPY                                       
 INREC FIELDS=(01,10,SEQNUM,8,ZD,START=0,INCR=1)         
 OUTFIL INCLUDE=(1,5,CH,EQ,C'CCCCC'),                   
 REMOVECC,NODETAIL,                                     
 OUTREC=(01,18,80:X),                                   
 TRAILER1=(' OPTION COPY,STOPAFT=',                     
           MIN=(11,8,ZD,M11,LENGTH=8),80:X)             
/*                   
//STEP0200 EXEC PGM=SORT       
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=* 
//SORTIN   DD DSN=YOUR INPUT FILE,
//            DISP=SHR   
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=YOUR OUTPUT FILE,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD DSN=&T1,DISP=SHR     
/*


OR if your shop has file-aid then you can use this 1 step job

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=FILEAID           
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*               
//SYSLIST  DD SYSOUT=*               
//DD01     DD DSN=YOUR INPUT FILE,
//            DISP=SHR               
//DD01O    DD  SYSOUT=*               
//SYSIN    DD  *                     
$$DD01 COPY STOP=(1,EQ,C'CCCCC'),OUT=0
/*


Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

kolusu,

Thanks a lot for your replies !

I used File-Aid solution. It works exactly the way I wanted it to work.

Thanks,
Vivek G
