X'1F' as Delimiter in DFSORT of Icetool

Post by raulravi » Mon Aug 04, 2014 1:20 pm

Hi,

I do have a input file as below, to which i need to add X'1F' (Unit Seprator) as a delimiter.

Is it possible to use X'1F' as Delimiter in DFSORT of Icetool ?

Regards,
Raul

Yes. Why would you think not? You can use any of the 256 bit patterns available.

I'd set up a symbol/SYMNAME for it.

Code: Select all

//SYMNAMES DD * 
  SEP-FOR-XYZ-FILE,X'1F'
//SYMNOUT DD SYSOUT=*

 ... BUILD=(start,end,
            SEP-FOR-XYZ-FILE,
            start2,end2,
            SEP-FOR-XYZ-FILE,
etc
            startn,endn)
