Copy records upto paticular data by using JCL

Post by venky » Thu Mar 21, 2013 8:30 pm

Hi All,

I have a file it contains below records with 80 record length.

62827L559
62827L559
62827L567
62827L567
62827L575
62827L575
62827L583
62827L583
62827L591
62827L591
G.W28237
IME RUN:
RXUFE02
2827L559
2827L559
2827L567
2827L567
2827L575
2827L575
2827L583
2827L583

Now from the above file, I want to copy only records upto "IME RUN:" data by using only JCL.

The Output I need to get as below by copying only few records from the file upto "IME RUN:" data.

62827L559
62827L559
62827L567
62827L567
62827L575
62827L575
62827L583
62827L583
62827L591
62827L591

Please suggest me how to get the required output by using JCL.

Thanks.

Regards,
Venky.

You cannot. JCL does not have such a capability - it only tells the operatig system whic programs you want to execute, the sequence of execution and what resources your program needs.

You can write a program, maybe use sort with some clever sort control cards or some other utility that someone might come up with. But JCL will not do it.

You can use WHEN=GROUP,BEGIN=(1,7,CH,EQ,C'IME RUN'),PUSH=(81:1,7)

Then have an OMIT in OUTFIL which ignores 81,7,CH,EQ,C'IME RUN') and a BUILD=(1,80)
