Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for:
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:
www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/sof ... tmpub.html
Code: Select all
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file1
// DD DSN=... input file2
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY

"Append" would give output as:
Are you asking if the OP wants to have the output sorted or merged on the first 3 characters? If so, why not just ask that directly? (The OP made a point of using word "append" in the Subject line and again in the text, so one would assume that's what's wanted, not a sort or merge, but ...).
