merging files

[krishnapriya]

HI,

I WANT TO MERGE TWO FILES.LAYOUT OF TWO FILES IS SAME LY.
FOR EX. I/P FILE1 & FILE2 HAS 3 FIELD.
THE THIRD FIELD CONTAINS 2 BYTE ALPHANUMERIC SUPPOSE IN FILE1 IT IS 10 AND IN FILE2 IT IS 01.
THE TWO FILES ARE SORTED BASED ON FILED1 AND AFTER MERGING IS GOING TO BE DONE.
WHILE MERGING I WANT THE 3RD FIELD TO BE 11 INSTEAD OF 10 IN FILE1 AND 01 IN FILE2

1. TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK.
2. You've posted in COBOL part of the Forum - so are you looking for a COBOL solution? As this can be easily written in a SORT step. (only if I correctly understood what you mean)
3. And before I, for one, attempt to answer, You need to do a good job explaining your requirement:

THE TWO FILES ARE SORTED BASED ON FILED1 AND AFTER MERGING IS GOING TO BE DONE. WHILE MERGING I WANT THE 3RD FIELD TO BE 11 INSTEAD OF 10 IN FILE1 AND 01 IN FILE2

what does bold text mean here?

Possibly show us an example of inputs and the expected output.

transfered to dfsort forum, if syncsort, then Frank can move it again

transfered to sort forum,
as Anuj says, can be done very easily in sort.

the solution can be found under the JOINKEYS explanation

if this is homework, then TS can do his own homework.

Hi,

give the jcl coding and explain it clearly.bcoz i dont understand the process of DFSORT SYNCSORT ICETOOL utillities if it is going to be used in jcl coding.

[dbzTHEdinosauer]

you have obviously not bothered to look at the document provided
by the link that I gave you to the JOINKEYS explanation in my previous post,

do so,
no one is going to cut and past and thus repeat what the manuals so ably explain.

krishnapriya,

If you want detailed help, you need to give a detailed explanation of what you want to do. Your explanation is not clear.

Show an example of the records in each input file (relevant fields only) and what you expect for output. Explain the "rules" for getting from input to output. Give the starting position, length and format of each relevant field. Give the RECFM and LRECL of the input files. If file1 can have duplicates within it, show that in your example. If file2 can have duplicates within it, show that in your example.
