Unless you learn to use the code tags

Select all

[code]
Put 
it
here
[/code]

There is no way to tell if there are spaces in the first column of the control statements or not

Please post again using the code tags.

ALSO Please give RECFM, LRECL and DSORG of the datasets as these are very useful when looking at SORT related problems.

Please stop posting your sort topics under JCL. There are special sections of the forum for sort topics and as you are using SynSort you need to post there. This topic has been moved there and certain changes made to your original post. Please study it carefully and avoid making repeated mistakes.

Your messages are clear and the *s indicate where the errors were discovered. ou need to study the manual to learn the format of the various statements and continuations of them.

please see above the code

Which is exactly the same as your previous paost but without the indicatore=s added by SyncSort when it was editing the control statements. Specifically the INREC has no contiuation provide despite you having coded a comma at the end (OUTREC is not part of INREC - it is a separate statement). IFTHEN is a subkeyword but you have not provided a keyword. Do notmake up your own syntax. Use that described in the manual paying special attention to what are keywords and what are sub-keywords.
