I want to create two hold files and then match them. The problems one is in MVS and the other is in SQL is there a way to bring the MVS file into the webfocus environment so I can compare it to the sql file through an executable automatically.


IBM Main Frame: MVS, FIX, VSAM

Windows SQL

WF 7.7

The one on MVS, is that a sequential file or in some DBMS like DB2 or such?
If it is sequential, then maybe use ftp to copy it to the pc and then process furter.
If it is in a dbms, can't you add an adapter to the pc reporting server to report from the MVS dbms?

(Hi Gamp)

Are the two source files available for reporting from within a WebFOCUS fex?

Step 1: Pull the Data from the MVS, use define fields as necessary and then hold the output as a FOCUS table with at least one index field. Keep in mind the 4 field limit, and 11 character limit for the index field names.

Step 2: pull the data from the SQL table(s), use define fields as necessary, and hold that as a focus table with EXACTLY the same index fields (name and format). Also for the field you actually want to compare the values of, use different field names i.e. MVS_CAR vs SQL_CAR.

Step 3: Use MATCH FILE Processing as described in ch 16 of the Creating Reports with WebFOCUS Language. I.E.

 
MATCH FILE MVS_DATA
SUM 
  MVS_FIELD1
  MVS_FIELD2
BY SORT_FIELD1
RUN
MORE
FILE SQL_DATA
SUM 
  SQL_FIELD3
  SQL_FIELD4
BY SORT_FIELD1
AFTER MATCH HOLD....



OLD-NOT-NEW will give you what is in MVS with no matching records in SQL

NEW-NOT-OLD give SQL records that are not in MVS

OLD-AND-NEW gives recods in BOTH, and because you named the fields with the source, you can actually compare the values.

Hope this helps a bit.
