number of records in input file

number of records in input file
Is there any sort condition, by which we can come to know the number of records in the input file.
This should work ...it will write the no of records to SORTOUT FILE ,
COUNT -> Is the keyword
Thanks,
Veera.
COUNT -> Is the keyword

OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
TRAILER1=(10:'NO OF RECORDS:',COUNT)

REMOVECC removes the ANSI carriage control character (e.g. '1' for page eject).
NODETAIL says not to write the data records, so only the report records will be written - in this case, only the TRAILER1 record will be written.
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:

For more information on writing the count to a file, see the "Display the number of input or output records" Smart DFSORT Trick at:
