INREC
-----
A typical use of INREC is listed below with example,
//STEPXXX EXEC SORTD
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=XXXXXXX.NAME.FILE,
// DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=XXXXXXX.NAME.COUNT,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(CYL,(400,200),RLSE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=14,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN DD *
INREC FIELDS=(1:1,10,11:C'0001')
SORT FIELDS=(1,10,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=(11,4,ZD)
/*

Here suppose 1 to 10 is NAME field then you insert a number
from 11 to 14 for every name field. Finally your aim is to
count the number of records having same NAME.

OUTREC
------
Reverse basically. Syntax below
//STEPXX EXEC SORTD5
//SORTIN DD DSN=XXXXXXX.FILE1,
// DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=XXXXXXX.FILE2,
// (NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(800,200),RLSE),
// DCB=(LRECL=31,BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=FB)
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:1,10,11:C'0001')

Here you insert 0001 for all values of output file at 11th
place.

Name a few IBM utility programs, and explain its function.
