OUTFIL BUILD=(6,10,80:X),VTOF

This will put a blank at column 80, and pad any intervening columns with space.

Hi BillyBoyo,

I am facing error the follwoing error :

********************************* TOP OF DATA
STMT NO. MESSAGE
13 IEFC630I UNIDENTIFIED KEYWORD DIPS
******************************** BOTTOM OF DAT

MY SORT JCL:

Select all

//SORT1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=BEJGB2.X186625.CONTROL.D131125.TEST2,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=BEJGB2.X186625.SORT.D131202.TEST2,DIPS=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=(5,1,CH,EQ,C'T')
OUTFIL BUILD=(2,10,80:X),VTOF
/*

can you please provide me the solution?

Sorry, but that is SO obvious that you should not have posted. Please analyse your failures. You just have to compare with what you wrote earlier to resolve the error. I usually have the error as DSIP. Anyway, topic locked. (And unlocked!)

It's just getting stuck in a groove. Happens. Kick yourself afterwards. No biggie.

Hello,

One thing to "take away" from this is that a JCL error has nothing to do with which sort product (or any other program) was intended to run.

This is another reason that all should learn and use proper terminology . . .

As BB said - don't beat your self up - learn and move on.

which one of below SORT cards are optimised for this question and why?

Solution-1:

Select all

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL INCLUDE=(1,1,CH,EQ,C'T'),BUILD=(2,10)

Solution-2:

Select all

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(1,1,CH,EQ,C'T')
OUTREC BUILD=(2,10)

Thanks.

INCLUDE COND operates at the start of processing a record. INCLUDE= operates at the end of processing. So solution 2 is more efficient, but you don't have a lot of processing anyway.
