the Input file is a VB 6004 (6000+4) file
we want a listing of values at pos 1-8 and 44-9 in output file

The JCL above is failing with msg:

Did you lookup the error message:

WER235A OUTREC RDW NOT INCLUDED

Yes I did...but didn't understand.

What changes will have to be made in JCL...why ?

Please help.

I don't have the SYNCSORT product, nor do I have access to the product documentation, but I think you need to include the RDW in your control statements:
