pls let us know i am correct

Why not leave out some important details like the RECFM being different from the original post.
Unless you give people ALL of the useful information they will waste time on an inappropriate solution to your problem.
If you work out the SORT cards required to do this, you can replace IEBCOPY with your SORT product and do it, or use the example given by Spock.

hi spock,
Thnks for ur code .

i have some clarification in your code,

in that ddname i have given the input file file name. i.e( proj.test .ps)
this file having four files ..i have to open the four files and copy the records in each files and stored to output file .

Thn input_ddname wat should i should i give ?..

Hello,

It appears that the system in use invokes Syncsort to do the copy (hence the WER message(s).

in that ddname i have given the input file file name. i.e( proj.test .ps)

That is not a dd name.

If you are submitting a batch iebgener job, the input ddname would be sysut1. I don't believe files of unlike dcb attributes can be processed as a single input. . .

I did play with this yesterday and used LMCOPY which sucessfully copied variable and fixed length records to the same output dataset.

This was only a first test, so will need more work on it.

Day off today, so no access to the code.

These are NOT error messages. I think that you will find that they are informational messages.

Notice the I on the end of the message - I is for INFORMATION not error. The next time that you need to post messages, always include the code with the message as it helps us help you.
