Eric,
Option COPY does NOT require FILSZ parameter. It is required when SORTing data
which helps in calculating the workspace required. DFSORT issues an

Hi Sri et al., I have 2 files that I would like to compare, file "A" has

Microsoft Powershell will add quotes around a comma delimited field.
However, it does it for all fields, not just Alphanumeric.
It's a free download.
This example command does the quote addition:

Yes, you can make this type of output with DFSORT.
DFSORT has "reporting features" on OUTFIL. This provides SUBTOT/SUBTOTAL, which
is to provide running-totals.
SUBTOTAL is available on TRAILER1, TRAILER2 and TRAILER3. None of which do
exactly what you want. If you look at what each does you'll
Which SORT tool do you have? Syncsort or DFSORT?
Either one comes with the capability to do something like this.
There is a DFSORT Hotline with IBM that you can also ask these types of
questions.

They are very helpful in creating SORT processes like this.
If you have
The Smart DFSORT Tricks doesn't have anything especially close.
Search-engineing *will* provide something very close. But, as the obvious post
itself suggests, understanding the code allows the same or similar techniques
to be known and therefore available for other circumstances.

Woodger-san,
Thank you very much for your useful guidance.
I have never thought to use SUBTOTAL function yet.
I'll try to make SORT control cards to produce SORTOUT data what I want to
have.
Koehler-san,
Thank you for pointing out documents of DFSORT trics.

for a length of 12.
You can use the following JCL
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *

#001 1 10.5

Kolusu-san,
Thank you very much for providing the SORT JCL.
Your SORT is more elegant and flexible than I made.
What I made SORT control cards based on Woodger-san's suggestion is
following.
//ACCUM EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
#001 1 10.5
#002
Obviously, there's a world of divers requirements out there, but SORT
focuses on cases where you want to combine information from duplicate
keys, not just ignore them.
But they did implement the feature with SUM=NONE, didn't they?

Is there a way to remove the first column of data from a fixed record

Hi,
We run z/os 1.13 with ca-sort 7.1 (a Computer Associates product).
This sort software is discontinued since January 30, 2012 and I’m trying to
evaluate the project of migration to dfsort in order to be full compatible and
supported when z/os 2.1 will come.
Before starting migration, I
