Hi,
We are having a file with record length of 32K. These records are to be sorted on fields of length exceeding 4K. We are using DFSORT and the limit is 4K.
Following is the sort statement that is being used
SORT FIELDS=(12,4000,CH,A,4012,90,CH,A)
The message obtained is as follows
ICE189A 0 BLOCKSET REQUIRED BUT COULD NOT BE USED - REASON CODE IS 63
Is there any other method available to sort these huge files |

Reason code 63 for ICE189A
Too many control fields were specified.
Do you have any other statements in your job? maybe you should show more. |

The limit is actually 4092 bytes (or 4088 bytes when EQUALS is in effect). The record length of 32K is irrelevant.

DFSORT can sort a file with 32K LRECL. However, it cannot sort with more than 4092 bytes. |
