Table Tool to split output to multiple files

[Steven Styer]

I am using table tool to build Retrieve, Add, and Move statements for a list of elements.  But the elements are from various subsystems.  

The Move statements are going to be used to build package instructions and I would like them to be broken apart by subsystem into different members based on the subsystems in the file.

Trying to figure out how to do this in Table Tool while keeping the process understandable.  Have a couple of half-formed ideas, but was looking to see what solutions may have already been developed.

Thank you

Hello Steve.

There are some examples that do a little of what you describe, but none that do exactly what you need. Here are examples from the GitHub  :

• EXAMPL#1 - To Report and delete very old elements (builds Endevor SCL)

• EXAMPL#3 - Add members of a PDS into Endevor (builds Endevor SCL)

• EXAMPL#8 - Reports processor usage (uses REXX stem arrays)

You might consider sorting the data by Subsystem, prior to executing Table Tool. If your data is in a Comma Separated Value format and DFSORT is your sort tool,  consider using the sorting items here .

If you cannot sort it, then there still is a way, but it gets a little more complicated.

 

In any event, if you give me an opportunity to help, it can be a new candidate for the Table Tool examples.
