My requirement is to count records based on key and write it to a new dataset. The input dataset is FB with LRECL 15 and all the 15 char is the key. My output should contain the 15 char key followed by the chars 'count = ' and followed by the actual count.
For this, how should I define my output dataset(LRECL and RECFM) and I can use DFSORT.

You can use a DFSORT job like the following to do what you asked for:
Code: Select all
//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (FB/15)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (FB/34)
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,15,CH,A)
OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
BUILD=(34X),
SECTIONS=(1,15,
TRAILER3=(1,15,' count = ',COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=10)))

TRAILER1 is the report trailer. It is printed once at the end of the file.
TRAILER2 is the page trailer. It is printed once at the end of each page.
TRAILER3 is the section trailer used with SECTIONS. It is printed once at the end of each key. So for multiple keys, you would want TRAILER3.
M11 formats the COUNT as d...d where each d is 0-9. So for example, if there are 13 records for a key, its count would be displayed as 0000000013
If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
