Wow, I did not want this to be so difficult...but given a choice, I
would like the second approach, as it is cleaner, but for the sake of
learning (if you don't mind), I would welcome the first option, also, to
make my training more complete!
Thank you and best regards,
Billy Ashton

Subject Re: DFSORT to count and sum subsets of data
Kolusu, this works well when I have records to work with, but if I have no "D"
records (sorry for the fat finger earlier...) to count or sum, I would still like to
produce a summary. There will be no DEPARTMENT rows, but I would like to have the file
name Header1, and a TOTAL line with the 0 Articles and 0 Items.
Billy,
There are different ways of getting results. When the input does NOT have a
"D" record, it will still generate the department row as you are using trailer3
and it will have ZERO count and ZERO total.
Something like this
PROD.A31XAD.IDARTA00
DEPARTMENT 0 ARTICLES, TOTAL ITEMS: 0
*** TOTAL *** : 0 ARTICLES, TOTAL ITEMS: 0
But if you insist on NOT having the Department record, then we need to do it
slightly different.
PROD.A31XAD.IDARTA00
*** TOTAL *** : 0 ARTICLES, TOTAL ITEMS: 0
What is the preferred output ? the First one or the second one?
Thanks,
Kolusu
