An OUTPUT statement with no suffix codes or parameters creates a copy of all selected records from the primary input file. Data values may be altered by processing during the run.
creates a summary file. The file contains one record for every lowest control break. Numeric fields contain group totals. Other fields contain values from the first record in the group.
When using this suffix with an output glossary that contains different record types, only one of the record types can be selected for output and summing. This can be achieved by either forcing the processing of a single record type from the input file with a SELECT statement, or prefixing the glossary name specified on the OUTPUT statement with a record type.
concatenates two or more input files. First, the file is copied and updated without modification (except that block sizes may be altered). CA JARS Wizard then reads the primary input file, performs any processing requested by control statements in the run, and adds it to the end of the output file.
This facility could be used, for example, when adding a new day's records to a period-to-date history file. First, CA JARS Wizard copies all records from the existing file; then it adds the new day's records, thus performing all daily processing.
