OUTFIL: Including, omitting Records
OUTFIL: Including, omitting Records
Summary
- OUTFIL can be used with INCLUDE or OMIT parameters to include or omitting records.
- Different INCLUDE or OMIT parameters can be used for different OUTFIL statements.
- All of the logical expressions that are valid for the INCLUDE and OMIT parameters of OUTFIL. However, the FORMAT parameter cannot specify with the OUTFIL statement.
- VB data set considerations also apply to the INCLUDE and OMIT parameters.
Syntax -
SORT FILEDS=(Starting position, length, data-format, A/D)
OUTFIL FNAMES=DDNAME1, INCLUDE/OMIT COND=(….)
OUTFIL FNAMES=DDNAME2, INCLUDE/OMIT COND=(….)
…..
OUTFIL FNAMES=DDNAMEn, INCLUDE/OMIT COND=(….)
| DDNAMEn | DDNAME is eight character’s name that representing the actual dataset in JCL. |
| INCLUDE/OMIT | Specifies the INCLUDE/OMIT condition for specific OUTFIL |
Example -
Scenario - Create three output files like below.
dept1 records to file1
dept2 records to file2
records other than dept1 to file3Input File - MTHUSER.SORT.INPUT01 - FB file of 80 length

Explaining Example -
- SORT FIELDS=(1,5,ZD,A) - sort all outputs in ascending order based on the ZD value from 1 to 5 positions.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
