OUTFIL Including, Omitting Records Example


Scenario - Create three output files like below -

dept1 records to file1
dept2 records to file2
records other than dept1 to file3

Input File - MATEPK.SORT.INPUT01 - FB file of 80 length

----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7----+----8
00001     student1           dept1          560
00003     student3           dept2          520
00004     student4           dept1          540
00005     student5           dept2          500
00002     student2           dept3          510
00006     student6           dept3          550
00008     student8           dept1          530
00007     student7           dept3          510
00009     student9           dept2          520    
00010     student10          dept2          505

Explaining Example -

  1. SORT FIELDS=(1,5,ZD,A) - sort all outputs in ascending order based on the ZD value from 1 to 5 positions.
  2. OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTPUT1,INCLUDE=(30,5,CH,EQ,C'dept1') - All the records marching with "dept1" from the 30th position of length 5 will be copied to output1 file.
  3. OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTPUT2,INCLUDE=(30,5,CH,EQ,C'dept2') - All the records marching with "dept2" from the 30th position of length 5 will be copied to output2 file.
  4. OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTPUT3,OMIT=(30,5,CH,EQ,C'dept1') - All the records marching with "dept1" from the 30th position of length 5 will be ignored and remaining all records will be copied to output3 file.
