Continuation in SYSIN card

[vrdhrjnbb]

Hi all,

//SYSIN DD *
COPY FROM(IN01) TO(OUT01,OUT02,OUT03,OUT04,OUT05,OUT06,OUT07,OUT08)

My Question is how to continue the function of SYSIN card on next line.

Jcl works fine, when the SYSIN card is in single line... i.e I can copy upto OUT08.. If I want to copy 20 more file means, how to conjecture it on next line?? please help me on this .


Thanks in advance

Have you tried looking at your DFSORT/SyncSort manual?

Have you tried looking at your DFSORT/SyncSort manual?

or the manual for whichever program you are executing. Different programs have different rules.

Nic, it is an ICETOOL COPY Operator. Come to think of it, SyncSort don't document SyncTool. Vasanthz is on the case anyway.

Hi all,

Thank for your reply.

Below find the error, which I am getting.

ICE632I 0 SOURCE FOR ICETOOL STATEMENTS: TOOLIN

willaim,

when I coded like this, it gives RC=12..

COPY FROM(IN01) TO(OUT01,OUT02,OUT03,OUT04,OUT05,OUT06,OUT07, -
OUT08,OUT09,OUT10,OUT11,OUT12)

but when I coded lke below, I get the exact result with RC=0,

COPY FROM(IN01) TO(OUT01,OUT02,OUT03,OUT04,OUT05,OUT06,OUT07)
COPY FROM(IN01) TO(OUT08,OUT09,OUT10,OUT11,OUT12)

Every line have to begin with COPY FROM(IN01) TO(XXXX,XXXY) ... is it so??

If you use the code tags to preserve the spacing we might be able to tell you. As it shows here COPY cannot start in column 1 and (I am not sure about this) continuations hav to start in column 16 - not column 1.

Hello,
The ICETOOL manual says,
Continuation can be indicated by a dash (-) after the operator or any operand. Each operand must be completely specified on one line.

Code: Select all

Example:
COPY FROM(IN1) -
TO(OUT1,OUT2,OUT3) -
USING(ABCD)

In our case operator was "COPY" &
operands were "FROM" & "TO".

So it looks like operand(in this case "TO") has to be completely specified in a single line and thats the restriction enforced by ICETOOL.

Hope it helps.

Nic,

As it shows here COPY cannot start in column 1 and (I am not sure about this) continuations hav to start in column 16 - not column 1.

Looks like ICETOOL's statements can start in column 1 and also the continuations can start in column 1. Just checked.
