I have two files.
file-1 : xxxx.yyyy.FFT.FILE1 (Tape File)
file-2 : xxxx.yyyy.VSO.FILE2 (VSAM file)

I want these two files to be merged & create a new sorted file (file-3) which is also a Tape file
file-3 : xxxx.yyyy.FFT.FILE3 (Tape File)

My question is, Can I merge FIL1 & FILE2 directly...? or should I have to first convert in flat files?...
If I can then How...?

Gaurav Bhayawala,

The following DFSORT JCL will give you the desired results

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*       
//SORTIN   DD DSN= xxxx.yyyy.VSO.FILE2,
//            DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=&&T1,DISP=(,PASS),SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
/*
//STEP0200 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*       
//SORTIN   DD DSN=xxxx.yyyy.FFT.FILE1,DISP=SHR
//         DD DSN=&&T1,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=xxxx.yyyy.FFT.FILE3,
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,
//            SPACE=(CYL,(X,Y),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD *
  SORT FIELDS=(....your sort criteria)
