hi,

below is the code i am trying to execute using sort. i've put the sortcard and the message in the sortout below. i'm getting user abend. Please let me know what is the reason for abend and by the way if anyone could tell me what M12 stands for? i just know that it's being used here to display a comp-5 variable.

Code:
 SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                 
 OUTREC FIELDS=(1:11,10,11:C',',                                   
                12:21,10,22:C',',                                 
                23:52,1,24:C',',                                   
                25:53,5,PD,35:C',',                               
                1275,8,BI,M12,C',',                               
                1285,8,BI,M12,C',',                               
                1295,8,BI,M12,C',',                               
                1305,8,BI,M12,C',',                               
                1315,8,BI,M12,C',',                               
                1325,8,BI,M12),CONVERT

WER108I SORTIN : RECFM=VB ; LRECL= 20503; BLKSIZE= 27998
WER237I OUTREC RECORD LENGTH = 202
WER110I SORTOUT : RECFM=FB ; LRECL= 202; BLKSIZE= 27876
WER244A OUTREC - SHORT RECORD
WER211B SYNCSMF CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000
WER449I SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE

thanks,
Bala

What abend?
M12 is just a pre-specified edit mask.
Have you checked the manual?

hi,

i don't have manual. if you have can you please give the link for that.
Since i don't have the manual. i am not able to identify the same. But i'm able to complete the job. The problem is one of the record in the Sortin is not belonged to that file. i deleted and ran the job. it completes fine.
What are pre-specified edit mask's available? could you please let me know any material about that? Thanks for your replies:-)

Thanks,
Bala

Dare I ask why your shop is using a product and has no manuals available.

Unfortunately I do not use SYNCSORT, so have no access to the manuals myself.

I suppose you could try google.

Hi Bala,


U are getting error because of short rec i think it is not related to M12.Please use PARM='VLTESTI=1' like below.
Code:


//STEP001  EXEC PGM=SORT,PARM='VLTESTI=1'


Let us know the result

Ur's is a VB file.

So as Ekta said, u have to use "VLTESTI" when u r doing a sort on a file with Variable record length.
