Concatenated Data Sets JCL, Utility Programs and COBOL |
The SimoTime Home Page |
This document will describe and demonstrate how to do data file concatenation using the function provided with JCL, Utility Programs and COBOL Programs. It is possible to process two (2) or more files as a single data set by concatenating the DD statements.
We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources.

Data Set Concatenation of Sequential Files using JCL, Utility Programs and COBOL |
The following shows the contents of the three test files that are used to demonstrate the data set concatenation capabilities.The first file contains three records.
00011 File-001, Record-001 00021 File-001, Record-002 00031 File-001, Record-003
The second file contains the following three records.
00012 File-002, Record-001 00022 File-002, Record-002 00032 File-002, Record-003
The third file contains the following three records.
00013 File-003, Record-001 00023 File-003, Record-002 00033 File-003, Record-003
The following files show the results that are produced using a COBOL program and the SORT Utility program. The first file is the results produced by the job step (DUPE80S2) that executes the COBOL program
00011 File-001, Record-001 00021 File-001, Record-002 00031 File-001, Record-003 00012 File-002, Record-001 00022 File-002, Record-002 00032 File-002, Record-003 00013 File-003, Record-001 00023 File-003, Record-002 00033 File-003, Record-003
The second file is the results produced by the job steps (SORT80S3 and EXTENDS4)) that executes the Sort program to read and sort the concatenated files into a single, sorted sequentail file based on the content of the first five positions in the records. The final step uses IEBGENER to add a record to the file.
00011 File-001, Record-001 00012 File-002, Record-001 00013 File-003, Record-001 00021 File-001, Record-002 00022 File-002, Record-002 00023 File-003, Record-002 00031 File-001, Record-003 00032 File-002, Record-003 00033 File-003, Record-003 99999 File-009, Record-999

This job will run on an IBM Mainframe System with ZOS or a Linux, UNIX or Windows System with Micro Focus Enterprise Server or Studio. Note: The DD statements in the JCL will present the three concatenated data sets to the COBOL program as if they were one sequential file. The COBOL program will see the first record in the first file as the starting point. The COBOL program will not get an End-of-File result until after the last record in the third data set has been read. IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. PROGRAM-ID. DUPE8080. AUTHOR.

We appreciate hearing from you. Company OverviewSimoTime Technologies was founded in 1987 and is a privately owned company. We specialize in the creation and deployment of business applications using new or existing technologies and services. We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. Our customers include small businesses using Internet technologies to corporations using very large mainframe systems. 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. We specialize in preparing applications and the associated data that are currently residing on a single platform to be distributed across a variety of platforms. Preparing the application programs will require the transfer of source members that will be compiled and deployed on the target platform. The data will need to be transferred between the systems and may need to be converted and validated at various stages within the process. SimoTime has the technology, services and experience to assist in the application and data management tasks involved with doing business in a multi-system environment. 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
