Answer / manoj

This can be done using two SORTs in a JCL.
1. In the first SORT, sort the file and create two output
files.
File 1: Containing records from 1 to 7
File 2: Containing records 9 & 10

//SYSIN DD*
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FILES=01,ENDREC=07
OUTFIL FILES=02,STARTREC=09,ENDREC=10
/*

2. Use another SORT statement and then merge the two
statements created above.

Answer / rajiv

Hi,

you can do something like this using inrec & outfil

//STEP010 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
XXXX1 ABCEDFHIJCKLMO
XXXX2 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX3 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX4 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX5 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX6 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX7 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX8 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX9 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXX10 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY,EQUALS
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,RECORDS=10,PUSH=(21:SEQ=1))
OUTFIL INCLUDE=(21,1,CH,NE,C'7'),BUILD=(1,20)

Output:
XXXX1 ABCEDFHIJCKLMO
XXXX2 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX3 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX4 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX5 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX6 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX8 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXXX9 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO
XXX10 ABCDEFGHIJKLMO

We can achieve the same easily by using ICETOOL.

//STEP001  EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                                      
//TOOLMSG  DD  SYSOUT=*                                          
//DFSMSG   DD  SYSOUT=*                                          
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                          
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                          
//SORTIN   DD DSN=SORT.TEST,DISP=SHR                      
//SORTOUT  DD  DSN=SORT.TEST.OUTPUT,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//        SPACE=(CYL,(500,500),RLSE)                             
//TOOLIN DD *                                                    
  SUBSET FROM(SORTIN) TO(SORTOUT) INPUT REMOVE RRN(4) RRN(6)     
/*                                                               
//          

Explanation:
SORTIN refer input file with 10 records
SORTOUT is the new file created by excluding 4th and 6th records.
SUBSET,INPUT and REMOVE are defined ones in ICETOOL.
RRN is used to refer the required record .

Answer / ananth

srot fields = copy

stopaft=6


next we have to give another step by using disp=(mod,delete,delete)

skiprec=7
stopaft=4

then 7th record gone remainging records into output file.

Let me give it a try:

//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (FB/80)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (FB/80)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(1,80,SEQNUM,3,ZD)
INCLUDE COND=(81,03,NE,ZD,3)
OUTREC BUILD=(1,80)

If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
