Hi,
My dataset have multiple records, say 100. I want to start
copy records only after a record contain a specific value
that may be in a specific position. Secondly I want to stop
copying rest records if certain record contains a specific
value. Can it be done using SORT/ICETOOL utilities?

your dataset have 100 records then u want copy starting
position=25 to ending position=50 then y have copy following way
//FSS129A JOB
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=NEW1.PS
//SORTOUT DD DSN=NEW2.PS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY,SKIPREC=25,STOPAFT=50

1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
