People-

Anyone please help me in my problem. I have to create 2 files out of 1 input file using Syncsort. Output 1 needs to select a certain range in column 1 of input, using same layout. Output 2 needs to include some data and at the same time, reformat it to a different layout. Here is my sortcard:

OUTFIL FILES=01,
INCLUDE=(01,07,CH,GE,C'9306100',AND,
01,07,CH,LE,C'9306299')
OUTFIL FILES=02,
INCLUDE=(01,04,CH,EQ,C'9306')
OUTREC FIELDS=(01:14,03,
04:12,02,
06:09,03,
09:01,07,
16:17,09,
25:28,20)

When I ran this, it is giving me this error. Anyone, please please help me.

WER276B SYSDIAG= 3748823, 9266405, 9266405, 3118437
WER164B 1,028K BYTES OF VIRTUAL STORAGE AVAILABLE, MAX REQUESTED,

WER146B 20K BYTES OF EMERGENCY SPACE ALLOCATED
WER267A SORT STATEMENT : STATEMENT NOT FOUND
WER211B SYNCSMF CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000

First of all, this is a SYNCSORT problem, not a DFSORT problem.

Looks to me like you're missing a comma and are using the wrong parameter:

Try this SORT JOB,


As this error message states

WER267A SORT STATEMENT : STATEMENT NOT FOUND

you did not include the SORT FIELDS=....

Ok-

I tried this,

SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FILES=01,
INCLUDE=(01,07,CH,GE,C'9306100',AND,
01,07,CH,LE,C'9306299')
OUTFIL FILES=02,
INCLUDE=(01,04,CH,EQ,C'9306'),
OUTREC=(01:14,03,
04:12,02,
06:09,03,
09:01,07,
16:17,09,
25:28,20)


And I got this new error message

WER247A SORTOF02 HAS INCOMPATIBLE LRECL

I suspect the reason is that my SORTOF01 LRECL is 154 and my SORTOF02 is 80. Is there any more wokaround on this?

I do recall that you need to account for all the characters in the OUTREC - you only have specified about 45 for 02......

Change your OUTREC statement to

and replace LRECL with the LRECL of your O/P file.

You can either pad the output in OUTREC by coding as krisprems suggested, or you can simply modify the JCL to specify the correct LRECL on the SORTOF02 DD statement (LRECL=44).
