Recommendations and Implementation Tips

• The JCL for this rule can be used as a model for similar Reconciliation rules using the WRITE and MERGEX functions.
• To produce a separate output file containing all records that do match, add the SRECOUT2 DD statement to the JCL and change the value of the MATCH parameter from NO to YES.

WRITE function output (MERGEX function input) records are in the file referenced by the SORTIN DD statement. The SORTWKnn DD statements are used by the MERGEX function to sort the two WRITE function outputs. The sorted output, in the file referenced by the SORTOUT DD statement, becomes the input to the comparison stage of the MERGEX function. The MERGEX function output file of unmatched records is referenced by the SRECOUT1 DD statement.
