I want to do something kind of weird and I'm wondering if DFSORT can do it
for me. I have a file where each record has three fields. Field 1 is the
z/OS SYSID. Field 2 is a TOD value. Field 3 is a number. The SYSID field can
only contain one of two values (C'DEV1' or C'LIH1'). I want my output file
to have 5 fields. Field 1 will be the TOD field, converted to a printable
date (DC1) and time (TC1). Field 2 is C'LIH1'. Field 3 is the value of the
"number" for the TOD for C'LIH1'. Field 4 is C'DEV1'. Field 5 is the value
of the "number" for the TOD for C'DEV1'. Field 6 is the sum of output fields
3 and 5. Would the DFSORT control card below do what I want?

* FIELD 1 IS 1,4,CH (SYSID)
* FIELD 2 IS 5,8,BI (TOD)
* FIELD 3 IS 13,5,ZD (NUMBER)
SORT FIELDS=(1,11,CH,A) SORT ON DATE+HOUR
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,4,CH,EQ,C'LIH1'),
                      BUILD=(5,8,DC1,C' ',5,8,TC1,C'|',
                                 C'LIH1|',13,5,
                                 C'|DEV1|',C'00000|00000')),
          IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,4,CH,EQ,C'DEV1'),
                      BUILD=(5,8,DC,C' ',5,8,TC1,C'|',
                                 C'LIH1|',C'00000',
                                 C'|DEV1|',13,5,C'|00000'))
SUM FIELDS=(22,5,ZD,33,5,ZD)
OUTREC OVERLAY=(39:22,5,ZD,ADD,33,5,ZD)

Please excuse any column errors. I'm more interested in whether the concept
of doing a SUM on two fields and then summing those two fields to overlay an
output field is valid.
