Hi Dick,

This work is not from my project I'm handling. They came to me with this requirement, they had quite a good constraint of time limits. My first thought about this prolem was to write a COBOL program but they asked if possible please work parally on SORT, because, today (July 07, IST) is their UAT (count the time since when I posted first). Well, I know this type of projects are not always there & this is not a nice example of a good management but when clinet needs one can't just deny (unless you want to loose your project).

That's all, and I try to help them, but I was facing lil problem in writing the SORT, so asked into the forum; so that if program is not possible at time some JCL could be handy; later it would be replaced with a program, hopefully this later would be pretty soon.

Hi Anuj,

Tried to reply several hours ago, but was unable to post due to some kind of "technical difficulties" . . .

True, i would not recommend to "just deny". I do make sure the client gets what they require rather quickly. . . Given that they had a time constraint and given that the requirement was posted around 9 on Friday, using a bit of front-end cobol to detemine the selection date and doing the sort/copy with sort, the alternate process could have been running by noon on Friday.

FWIW. . .

Hi Dick,

Have lost the track of this thread several days ago...

Agreed, but unless you are the owner of the project, you can't help..
