Hello and welcome to the forum, Suggest you create a very small pair of files for testing - only 5 records or so per file. Make sure you can predict which should match and which should not. Run your code and see what this shows. If it is not clear, post the data in the output files here and we can review what happened. I would also discontinue using MOD unless there is some necessity to use MOD. Also, suggest you practice a bit with the...

If i wrote code like below, can it be possible that get RC=0,But the OUT1 doesn't contain all expected data? in which situation? If you get RC=0, then DFSORT/ICETOOL did what you told it do to do. If your OUT1 did not contain all expected data, then you most likely didn't tell DFSORT/ICETOOL to do what you wanted done. Since I don't know what your input or output contained, I can't tell you what you did wrong. One common...

Yes sure, as many people face this issue, it would be certainly helpful. Below is the job. There are lot of other things that you can do with XMITIP. Like sending only specific pages of your report or sending report based on KEYVAL etc. You can master XMITIP just by following instructions in the manual. This is really good, sweet and short manual on XMITIP,mentioned below is the link and the code. Hope this helps...

Are the fields in the records in fixed positions? Or are they delimited in some way? Please show more example input records so we could see the pattern. Also give the RECFM and LRECL of the input file, and the starting position, length and format of each field, or the delimiters (that is, the rules for breaking up the record).

Sigh. If you had looked up the ICE109A error message, you would have found that you can only SUM a BI field of 2, 4 or 8 bytes, not 3. But the field you want to SUM appears to be ZD, not BI, so the appropriate SUM statement would be: Code: Select all SUM FIELDS=(19,3,ZD) and you would get this output: 111g11fgdfgjdfgsdf222
