Answer / mohanasundaram

step1 exec pgm=idcams
sysprint dd sysout=*
sysout dd sysout=*
infile dd dsn=filename,disp=shr
sysin dd *
print(filename)-
count(3)
/*
//

In input file 3 records is there means it will be show maxcc=0 else it will show maxcc=4

Answer / srinivasa gudla

Using Syncsort,

//SORT1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=Input.File,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=Output.File,...
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FILES=OUT,TRAILER1=
(1:COUNT),REMOVECC,NODETAIL
/*

This job creates a report with a single trailer record
containing the record count.

The COUNT subparameter of TRAILER1 provides the number of
records for the entire report (all the records) starting at
position 1.

REMOVECC omits the ANSI carriage control character from all
of the report records.

NODETAIL generates a report with no data records, only
header and trailer records, as specified.

Answer / ravi

Logesh,

I'm not sure where the output (record count) is written to.

Can you let me know how to write it to spool & dataset.

My output should be:

Record count is: <count>
