Hi
I am getting U0016 abend with following message while merging two datasets using SYNCSORT.

WER146B 20K BYTES OF EMERGENCY SPACE ALLOCATED
WER109I MERGE INPUT : TYPE=F; LRECL= 133
WER110I SORTOUT : RECFM=F ; LRECL= 133; BLKSIZE= 133
WER068A OUT OF SEQ SORTIN01 , BLOCK 1
WER211B SYNCSMF CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000
WER449I SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE

The JCL that i used is given below.
Code:

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT                                                   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SORTIN01 DD DSN=E0069AR.SORTOUT,DISP=SHR                             
//SORTIN02 DD DSN=E0069AR.SORTOUT2,DISP=SHR                             
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=E0069AR.SORTOUT3,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),                   
//            SPACE=(TRK,(10,10),RLSE),UNIT=SMS,DCB=(RECFM=F,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN    DD *                                                         
  MERGE FIELDS=(1,8,CH,A)                                               
/*                                               

DCB parameters for both the inputs are same.(FB,133)

Please let me know what could be the error

If you are merging two files, both of those files would need to be previously sorted in the order they are being merged in. If you sorted SORTIN01 and SORTIN02 with SORT FIELDS=(1,8,CH,A) before the MERGE, a record would not be out of sequence.

Why not concatenate the two files together and SORT them instead of MERGING them?

Code:

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT                                                   
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SORTIN DD DSN=E0069AR.SORTOUT,DISP=SHR                             
//       DD DSN=E0069AR.SORTOUT2,DISP=SHR                             
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=E0069AR.SORTOUT3,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),                   
//            SPACE=(TRK,(10,10),RLSE),UNIT=SMS,DCB=(RECFM=F,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN    DD *                                                         
  SORT  FIELDS=(1,8,CH,A)
