Hi All,
I have an input file with 4 fields in it, and i need to copy it into the output file. But the output file should contain FIFTH field data (example when we copy input file 4 fields , along with that we need to copy fifth field which is of 8 bytes. Is there any way out , where we can add some constants in the SORT card before copying in to output file . Do we have any SORT options/ICETOOL options?
Any One could help me out !!!
Thanks in Advance

It's not clear what you want to do. Is the fifth field just a constant? What constant exactly? What position do you want it to start at in the output record? An example of your input records and expected output records would help.
If you just want to add a constant at position c in your output records, you can use:
If you want to do something else, explain more clearly what you want to do.
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:

If you just want to add a constant at position c in your output records, you can use:
Code: Select all
OPTION COPY
INREC OVERLAY=(c:C'constant')
