You can use DFSORT's BUILD to remove columns. For example, if your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80, you can use a DFSORT job like this: //S1 EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (FB/80) //SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (FB/64) //SYSIN DD * OPTION COP...

Anu,

Google doesn't find anything relevant for STARBAT. Where did you hear about it?

SUBSET is not the right approach. SUBSET is for selecting by relative record number and you seem to be selecting by a compare field. The only trick with a VB file is that the first data byte starts in position 5 after the RDW. I'd need to know more about exactly what you're doing before I could tell...

You can use a DFSORT job like the following to do what you asked for. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes. //S1 EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD * ab_dd99_rjiedc ab_dd88_nshe ab_dd33_mandh ab_dd33_majfzr //S...

You can use this DFSORT/ICETOOL job to set RC=4 when the input file is empty and RC=0 if it's not empty. Then you can do a conditional test in the next step to use or bypass the DFSORT step that writes the count. //S1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL //TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=* //DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=* //IN DD * RECORD //OUT...

I don't speak COBOL. I need you to describe what you want to do in DFSORT terms. Please show an example of the records in your input file (relevant fields only) and what you expect for output. Show all possible variations you have to deal with. Explain the "rules" for getting from input to output. G...

You have several errors in your job. The one that resulted in the syntax error is using TOT=(1,6,CH,TO=CH which makes no sense and is invalid - but even if you fix that, your job won't work the way you coded it because 120,9,ZD is beyond the end of your records. You can get what you say you want for...
