Is there a way to use the functionality of SKIPREC=n but not omit the record from the output file.
Sample Input:
999
444
333
111
222
Desired Output:
999
111
222
333
444
Omitt records from sort but still include them in output

I think you're trying to keep record 1 (a header?) where it is and sort the rest of the records. If that's what you're trying to do, then you can use a DFSORT job like this to do it. I assumed your input file has RECM=FB and LRECL=80, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes.
If that's not what you're trying to do, then please explain in more detail what it is you're trying to do.
Code: Select all
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (FB/80)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (FB/80)
//SYSIN DD *
* Reformat record 1 to:
* |data|A|00000001|
* Reformat records 2-n to:
* |data|B|nnnnnnnn|
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,OVERLAY=(81:C'B',82:SEQNUM,8,ZD)),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(82,8,ZD,EQ,1),OVERLAY=(81:C'A'))
* Sort on A (for record 1) or B (for record 2-n), and data.
* This will keep record 1 in place and sort the rest of
* the records.
SORT FIELDS=(81,1,CH,A,1,3,CH,A)
* Remove A/B and seqnum
OUTREC BUILD=(1,80)
