I have 15 flat files. each record in the files have the
monthly salary for 12 months with the employee number. Now
I want to concatenate the 15 files such that for the
employee numbers that are common the o/p file should have
only one record and the salaries should be concatenated to
that record. How can we do it with JCL?

Answer / sk

For understandability just concatenate all the 15 flat file
use of simple concatenation.(It's like use first file name
with DD name and all the other 14 files without DD name and
write in adjucent). so you got the 15 files data in one
file, Next step is , sort the file using key as employee
number and use SUM FIELDS for concatenating the salaries,
so it will remove the duplicateas well as it will get the
concatenated result of the salary.
