I have a file which contains 36 million records.
Sample records are shown below.
| Code: |
100ABCDE2007022299999999
100ABCDE2007090499999999
101ABCDE2007091299999999
101ABCDE2007091220080715 |
Out of the above four records i need to select only the 3rd record.
As you can see the first 16 digits of this record is equal to the next record and the next 8 digits are different. So i want only such records whose first 16 digits are equal to the first 16 digits of next record and last 8 digits are not equal to the last 8 digits of the next record.
Please let me know how to achieve this using SORT. |

hello Mariraj,
I had understood your requrement then you can use the below JCL. if this does not works then please let us know with some examples with more then one record in the output:
| Code: |
//VZM1CKKN JOB (3GAHF3,R),
// 'RAJAT TEST',CLASS=X,MSGCLASS=Y,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//*
//IN1 DD *
100ABCDE2007022299999999
100ABCDE2007090499999999
101ABCDE2007091299999999
101ABCDE2007091220080715
/*
//T1 DD DSN=&&T1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,5)),DISP=(MOD,PASS)
//OUT DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLIN DD *
SELECT FROM(IN1) TO(T1) ON(1,16,CH) FIRST
SELECT FROM(T1) TO(OUT) ON(17,8,CH) LAST

Mariraj,
Do you always have just 2 records for every key on the first 16 bytes or can you have more than that? if you have more than 2 keys how do u compare ? Also what is the LRECL and RECFM of the input dataset?
rajatbagga,
Your JCL will NOT give you the desired results as u are considering only FIRST of every record which would eliminate the 2nd record to be checked and your next select is only checking for the 8 bytes on ALL records. It should be checking based on the KEY in the first 16 bytes.
Try running your job with the following Data. Change the 1st record
| Code: |
100ABCDE2007022277777777
100ABCDE2007090499999999
101ABCDE2007091299999999
101ABCDE2007091220080715
|
and you will see that you got 2 records in the output. |
