SORT JOIN – UNPAIRED RECORDS INDICATOR
Records from 2 files can be joined used SORT. An indicator can used to see from which the file the record has been written to the output file.

IF1 file. FILE=F1 tells DFSORT that the ddname for the F1 file is |SORTJNF1. FIELDS=(1,10,A) tells DFSORT that the key is in positions |1-10 ascending. Since SORTED is specified, indicating that the records are already in order by the specified binary key, DFSORT will copy |the SORTJNF1 records. Since NOSEQCK is specified, DFSORT will not |check that the records are in order by the key. (Only use NOSEQCK |if you know for sure that the records are in order by the key.)
The second JOINKEYS statement defines the ddname and key for the |F2 file. FILE=F2 tells DFSORT that the ddname for the F2 file is |SORTJNF2. FIELDS=(7,10,A) tells DFSORT that the key is in positions |7-16 ascending. Since SORTED is specified, indicating that the records |are already in order by the specified binary key, DFSORT will copy |the SORTJNF2 records. Since NOSEQCK is specified, DFSORT will not |check that the records are in order by the key. (Only use NOSEQCK |if you know for sure that the records are in order by the key.)
The JOIN statement tells DFSORT that the joined records should |include the unpaired F1 and F2 records as well as the paired F1/F2 |records.
The REFORMAT statement defines the fields to be extracted for the |joined records in the order in which they are to appear, and includes |an indicator in the last position that will be set to ‘1’ if the key |is found only in the F1 file, ‘2’ if the key is found only in the |F2 file, or ‘B’ if the key is found in the F1 file and in the F2 file. | FIELDS=(F1:1,14,F2:1,20,?) tells DFSORT to create the joined records |as follows:
Joined Record Positions Extracted from
|———————– —————–
|1-14 F1 positions 1-14
|15-34 F2 positions 1-20
|35 Indicator of where key was found
The OPTION COPY statement tells DFSORT to copy the joined records. | The OUTFIL statements use the indicator in position 35 to determine |where to find the F1 or F2 fields in the joined records and where |to write the fields (F1ONLY, F2ONLY or BOTH).
