appending trailer rec with rec count and file seq number

Post by Adebalina » Fri Aug 13, 2010 6:09 pm

Hi All,

Is it possible to appened a trailer record after the records in the existing file, where the trailer record layout is

xxxxxxxx|99999999|9999999999|99999|xxxxxxxxx
'TRAILER ' CUR DATE REC CNT FL SEQ FILLERS

ie from 1-8 -> "TRAILER"
from 9-16 -> current date
from 17-25 -> no of records(rows) in the file, without the trailer one
from 26-30 -> "1" for the first file, "2" for the second and so on
otherwise can be the current GDG ver no of the file
from 31-EOF -> fillers (where the lrec=300)

You can use DFSORT control statements something like this (adjust as needed):

Code: Select all

   OPTION COPY                              
   OUTFIL REMOVECC,                         
     TRAILER1=('TRAILER ',DATENS=(4MD),     
       COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=9),C'    1')
