Why not use a SORT program with a JOINKEYS operation?

Assuming, as implied by your example, that you want to join record n of file1 with each corresponding record n of file2, you can use a DFSORT JOINKEYS job like the following:

Code: Select all

//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT                                    
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                  
//IN1 DD DSN=...  input file1 (FB/3)
//IN2 DD DSN=...  input file2 (FB/3)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (FB/6)                                 
//SYSIN DD *                                          
  JOINKEYS F1=IN1,FIELDS=(4,8,A),SORTED,NOSEQCK       
  JOINKEYS F2=IN2,FIELDS=(4,8,A),SORTED,NOSEQCK       
  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,3,F2:1,3)                     
  OPTION COPY                                      
/*   
//JNF1CNTL DD *                                       
  INREC OVERLAY=(4:SEQNUM,8,BI)                       
/*
//JNF2CNTL DD *                                       
  INREC OVERLAY=(4:SEQNUM,8,BI)
