I'm basically trying to emulate doing a PROC SQL which does a JOIN operation on three tables. Not a pretty sight! It they don't watch out, I do something really NASTY by using my Linux desktop in a z/OS batch job. I already have a PostgreSQL database set up to hold the RACF IRRDBU00 data, a PERL program to load it, and various PSQL scripts to generate reports. I can use the Dovetailed Technologies Co:Z product to have my z/OS job run those scripts "in line" from my z/OS job, returning the information to z/OS as "sysout" in the invoking step. Nice product! And free-as-in-beer! I am about to propose that we do something like this, but using SAS on a Linux/Intel server.

John, I am also really splicing three record types together. The 0200 (base USER records), 0220 (TSO segment), and 0230 (CICS segment). The way that I did it was to 1) run plain SORT to split the 0200, 0220, and 0230 records into separate temporary datasets. 2) SPLICE the 0200 and 0220 records together into another temporary dataset. 3) SPLICE the temp DSN in #2 with the 0230 records. //STEP0003 EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD DSN=TSHPN.RACF.FLATFILE,DISP=SHR //SORTOUT DD DSN=&&JUNK,LIKE=TSHPN.RACF.FLATFILE, // DISP=(NEW,PASS) //TYPE200 DD DSN=&&TYPE200,LIKE=TSHPN.RACF.FLATFILE, // DISP=(NEW,PASS) //TYPE220 DD DSN=&&TYPE220,LIKE=TSHPN.RACF.FLATFILE, // DISP=(NEW,PASS) //TYPE230 DD DSN=&&TYPE230,LIKE=TSHPN.RACF.FLATFILE, // DISP=(NEW,PASS) //SYSINDD * OPTION VLSHRT SORT FIELDS=(COPY) INCLUDE COND=(10,3,CH,GE,C'AAA',AND, 10,3,CH,LE,C'ZZZ',AND, 13,1,CH,GE,C'0',AND, 13,1,CH,LE,C'9',AND, 14,1,CH,GE,C'0',AND, 14,1,CH,LE,C'9',AND, 15,1,CH,GE,C'0',AND, 15,1,CH,LE,C'9',AND, 10,3,CH,NE,C'IBM',AND, 10,3,CH,NE,C'MIB',AND, 10,2,CH,NE,C'TS',AND, 16,1,CH,EQ,C' ') INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'0200',AND, 109,8,CH,EQ,C''), OVERLAY=(118:C' ')) OUTFIL FNAMES=TYPE200,INCLUDE=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'0200'), BUILD=(1,4,5,4,10,8,19,10,44,1,49,1,54,1, 79,20,100,8,109,8,118,10,385,1,390,1, 395,1,400,1,C'|',28C'\') OUTFIL FNAMES=TYPE220,INCLUDE=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'0220'), BUILD=(1,4,5,4,10,8,18:63C'*',19,7,154,8,209,8,C'|') OUTFIL FNAMES=TYPE230,INCLUDE=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'0230'), BUILD=(1,4,5,4,10,8,18:87C'#',19,3,C'|') /* //STEP0006 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL //TYPE200 DD DSN=&&TYPE200,DISP=(OLD,PASS) // DD DSN=&&TYPE220,DISP=(OLD,PASS) //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=X, // HOLD=YES //TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=X, // HOLD=YES //DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=X, // HOLD=YES //SYSINDD DUMMY //TOOLIN DD * SPLICE FROM(TYPE200) - TO(OUTPUT1) - ON(8,8,CH) - USING(SPL1) - KEEPNODUPS - WITH(81,24) - VLENMAX SPLICE FROM(TYPE230) - TO(OUTPUT2) - ON(8,8,CH) - KEEPNODUPS - USING(SPL1) - WITH(105,4) - VLENMAX //* //SPL1CNTL DD * OPTION VLSHRT SORT FIELDS=(8,8,CH,A,5,4,CH,A) //SPL2CNTL DD * OPTION VLSHRT SORT FIELDS=(8,8,CH,A,5,4,CH,A) //OUTPUT1 DD DSN=TSHPN.RACF.OUTPUT1, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // RECFM=VB,LRECL=6000,BLKSIZE=0,DSORG=PS, // SPACE=(CYL,(200,100),RLSE), // UNIT=(SYSDA,10) //TYPE230 DD DSN=&&TYPE230,DISP=(OLD,PASS) // DD DISP=(OLD,PASS),DSN=*.OUTPUT1,VOL=REF=*.OUTPUT1 //OUTPUT2 DD DSN=TSHPN.RACF.OUTPUT2, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // RECFM=VB,LRECL=6000,BLKSIZE=0,DSORG=PS, // SPACE=(CYL,(200,100),RLSE), // UNIT=(SYSDA,10) -- John -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
DFSORT/ICETOOL SPLICE question (was RE: DFSORT PARSE question)
Piggybacking on John M.'s question: >From an IRRDBU00 unload, I have need to list each individual user ID with access granted to each individual CICS transaction in the GCICSTRN class. We use the "grouping profile" to define the CICS transactions to RACF, wherein each "grouping profile" contains one or more transactions as "members". We also strive to grant access to user groups, wherein each user group has one or more user IDs "connected" to it.

Note that each user ID can be "connected" to more than one user group, and (despite best efforts to avoid it) a single transaction ID can be a "member" of more than one "grouping profile". Also, I can already format the various records as needed for splicing. So far I've been able to list EITHER all occurrences of an individual transaction with the user groups in the access lists, OR each individual user ID with the "grouping profiles" to which they have been granted access, but haven't found a way to "take the final step" to match individual user IDs with individual transaction IDs. Can it be done with ICETOOL "out of the box"? I'm beginning to think it cannot.

You can PARSE the individual "names" into %nn variables and then use IFTHEN, clauses to keep the last %nn variable that's nonblank as in the DFSORT job below. I assumed that you just have one 20-byte field, the extracted name can be the maximum of 20 characters, and there can be a maximum of 5 subnames. The job can be changed appropriately for other situations. Note that if the field of interest is in the middle of other fields, we'd need to extract it after the end of the record and operate on it there (using ABSPOS=p in the first IFTHEN clause). If you want more specific help, give me a good example of the input records and the expected output records. //S1EXEC PGM=ICEMAN //SYSOUTDD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD * John McKown William S. Story A. B.

Re: DFSORT PARSE question
I can't test this, having Brand S sort, but DFSORT IFTHEN, PARSE and BUILD
might do this.
There's an example in the DFSORT manual about parsing an IP address into 4
3-byte octets.
Once could use a smiliar technique and parse the name field into x (how many
words could possibly be
in the name field) 20-byte fixed-length fields. Then, use separate BUILD
statements to only include
the xth word if it is non-blank, the (x-1)th word only if it's non-blank and
the xth is blank, and so on..

I don't see a way to do this, but I'll ask. I have a field in a record which
is a person's name. It is rather "free format" and may contain one or more
"names", separated by one or more blanks. By our definition, the person's
"last name" is the last non-blank series of characters in this field. The
field is a max of 20 characters (it is the "Programmer Name Field" in RACF).
So for "John McKown", I want "McKown". For "William S. Story", I want
"Story". For "A. B. D. Burp", I want "Burp". So far, I've gotten all my RACF
reporting from the IRRDBU00 unload done using DFSORT's ICETOOL. But this one
seems to be killing me.
Any ideas?
