While am executing the job with the input file with 1000 records, it was sucessful.

But I now have a file of 1,100,000 records with LRECL=32755.

I am getting the SB37 abend.
I given mulitple volume nearly around 50.
I got the output.

But after few days,now its showing JCL error because of some volume.
I need a solution how to rectify SB37 abend while am using the above data around 1,100,000 records with LRECL=32755

What additional information did message IEC030I give?

And with an LRECL of 32755, unless you are using spanned blocks, will put ONE record on each track of DASD.

1,100,000 / 15 = 73,334 cylinders = 22 x 3390-3

May I suggest that perhaps you use tape for this one.

Hello,

Look at your process and see how many of the 32k bytes need to be written. Very few processes need records that long. If you do a coding and select only the data needed to meet your requirement, you may be able to eliminate most of the space needed.

As much of the 32k is likely not used in all of the records, you might be able to change your output to variable length and save some space (if the records are 32k fixed as input.

If you cannot or will not reduce the dasd volume, you can use tape as was suggested before. You will most likely need to specify the volume count as the number of volumes will probably exceed the site limit.

I wonder what kind of medium you use for the inputfile.

Is there a way you can process the file in pieces and accumelate records?
