This suite of programs provides JCL members that are coded to perform similar tasks when sorting EBCDIC or ASCII-encoded data files. The first JCL member provides an example of doing a "case-insensitive" sort for EBCDIC-encoded data files. The second JCL member uses the TYPRUN=SCAN parameter on the JOB statement which causes the member not to actually execute but does scan the JCL statements for proper syntax. The third JCL member provides an example of doing a "case-insensitive" sort for ASCII-encoded data files. The fourth JCL member provides an example of doing a "case-insensitive" sort for ASCII-encoded data files and will cause the numbers to be sorted after the letters (similar to the EBCDIC collating sequence).
The SORT steps will show how to use sort to copy a file or sort a file. An example of a case insensitive sort using an alternate collating table is included.
The JCL members were originally written and used on an "MVS (or z/OS) Mainframe. Currently, the JCL members may be used as MVS batch jobs on an IBM mainframe or with Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFE) or Micro Focus ES/MTO Batch Facility on a PC with Windows. For more information about the Micro Focus technologies refer to http://www.microfocus.com).
This example illustrates the following functions.
| 1. | Demonstrate how to syntax mainframe JCL. |
| 2. | Demonstrate how to use the IEBGENER utility program to create and populate a file. |
| 3. | Demonstrate how to use the SORT program to copy a file. |
| 4. | Demonstrate how to use the SORT program to sort a file. |
| 5. | Demonstrate how to use the SORT program to sort a file using an alternate sorting sequence (this example does a "case insensitive" sort). |
| 6. | Demonstrate how to use IEFBR14 to delete files. |
The input for this example is included in the job stream. The output of the individual steps will create simple sequential files. The input for the examples is included in the job stream. The output of the individual steps will create simple sequential files.
The following is an example of a sequential file (JCLSCAN1.DAT) created by one of the job steps that use IEBGENER. The relative record sequence number is in positions 73-80. This file will be used by the following sort steps.

The following is the mainframe JCL (JCLSCNJ1.JCL) required to execute the process defined by the JCL member. Notice the TYPRUN=SCAN parameter on the JOB card continuation is a comment and there is no comma in the last position of the JOB statement to indicate a continuation.
Notice STEP0050 contains a table for changing the sorting sequence. This will create an output file using a sort that is insensitive to upper and lower case. Since the table redefines the sort sequencing changes at the binary level this step will only work correctly in an EBCDIC encoded data file.
The JOB and DD statements will need to be modified for different mainframe environments.

The following is the mainframe JCL (JCLSCNJ3.JCL) required to execute the process defined by the JCL member. Notice the TYPRUN=SCAN parameter on the JOB card continuation is a comment and there is no comma in the last position of the JOB statement to indicate a continuation.
Notice STEP0050 contains a table for changing the sorting sequence. This will create an output file using a sort that is insensitive to upper and lower case. Since the table redefines the sort sequencing changes at the binary level this step will only work correctly in an ASCII encoded data file.
The JOB and DD statements will need to be modified for different mainframe environments.

We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. This includes the smallest thin client using the Internet and the very large mainframe systems. There is more to making the Internet work for your company's business than just having a nice looking WEB site. It is about combining the latest technologies and existing technologies with practical business experience. It's about the business of doing business and looking good in the process. Quite often, to reach larger markets or provide a higher level of service to existing customers it requires the newer Internet technologies to work in a complementary manner with existing corporate mainframe systems. Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com
