BUILD gives you complete control over the items you want in your reformatted OUTREC records and the order in which they appear. Read this book to get more exposure. INREC FIELDS=(1,20,X,25,6,X,) - Reformat the input file of length 1 to 30 bytes(1 to 20 bytes plus 25 to 6 bytes). Reformatting records after sorting with BUILD or FIELDS - IBM To calculate percentage (Number of records in FILE1/Number of records in FILE2)*100 using DFSORT in Mainframe.

For instance, you want to know when one file is within 10% of the size of the other. . value by not specifying WIDTH(n). Using BUILD on INREC, OUTREC and OUTFIL, and not using OUTFIL OUTREC= is simply for clarity. .

Any one run of which (even with the 10,000-record example) will outweigh the costs of a "Mainframe" solution running every day for the next 15+ years. . SUM FIELDS=NONE removes duplicates on fields specified in SORT FIELDS. a lower number of digits (d) instead by specifying DIGITS(d). //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
OUTREC OVERLAY=(60:SEQNUM,2,ZD,START=5,INCR=5) Generates the sequence number of length 2 from 60th byte. decimal digits with leading zeros. The problem I am facing is datasets FILE1.DATA.COUNT and FILE1.DATA.COUNT are getting created of 15 record length despite mentioning LRECL 6. TRAN=LTOU, can be used to convert data from lower case to upper case
