FILEAID TO SYNCSORT CONVERSION

[santusingh]

Hi All,

I have input file and output file in VB format . JCL uses fileaid to copy the input file to output file. The sort cards for it is

$$DD01 COPY IF=(5,EQ,C'THE'),
ORIF=(4,0,X'F1F4F76B0D'),
ORIF=(4,0,X'F1F4F86B0D'),
ORIF=(4,0,X'F1F4F96B0D')

I want to convert this to SYNSORT (PGM=SORT ). The sort card which I made is

OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=((5,3,CH,EQ,C'THE'),
|,(1,4,CH,EQ,X'F1F4F76B0D'),
|,(1,4,CH,EQ,X'F1F4F86B0D'))

There seems to be some problem with SYnSORT card. The condition - =((5,3,CH,EQ,C'THE')is working fine but conditions -
|,(1,4,CH,EQ,X'F1F4F76B0D'),
|,(1,4,CH,EQ,X'F1F4F86B0D'))
does not work as accepted

Please help me to make it work.

Thanks all for the help

What column, when you look at the file, does the word 'THE' appear in? Column 5 or column 1?

I have a feeling that when working with VB files in sort you have to add 4 to the length for the variable bit.

Yes, you need to add 4 to allow for the RDW.

What error message(s) were generated by the run?

Try using OR instead of the |.

Which release of Syncsort is being used?
