Answer / avinashn17

The above soultion works only if records are in the sorted
order.

The below piece of code could be used for records which are
not sorted.
******************************************************
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=INPUT,
// DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=OUTPUT,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=(DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0),
// DATACLAS=PSFB
//SYSIN DD *
INREC OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,8,ZD)
SORT FIELDS=(81,8,ZD,D)
OUTREC BUILD=(1,80)
/*
*********************************************************
Record length of the above file is 80
INREC OVERLAY - places sequence number after 80.
Then it is sorted in descending order of sequence nummber.
OUTREC BUILD - removes sequence number and retains original
record.

Answer / sanju

use sort card:
//SYSIN DD *
COPYBACK OUT=50
/*

Answer / shammi

But COPYBACK option can be used using File aid only...

Answer / avinash n

The file could be sorted in the descending order.

Synatx:

SORT FIELDS=(1:Y,CH,D)
where Y = record length.

The output would be in the reverse order!

//{name} INCLUDE MEMBER=memname {comments} in the include statement, what actually happens when its executed? The membername conatains a list of valid JCL statements, so will the include statement be substituted by these statements and how can we mention the pds that conatains the member? How does the include group differ from a PROC? how is include statement connected to JOBLIB and STEPLIB?
