As requested please provide us more details on your requirement.
One thing that has to be kept in mind while writing SORT card for VB datasets is to include the 4 bytes for RDW.
Please do a search on this forum as we have discussed this before. |

Hi,
I have an input file of VB format and i want only some particular fields of this i/p file and i want to do sorting on this file.I have added 4bytes to the length of the field while declaring the control card and i declared as
INREC FIELDS=(39,18)
SORT FIELDS=(39,18,CH,A) but it is giving U016 error.
Could u tell me abt this error.

Wouldn't the inrec need the 1,4 for the llbb also?
What is the message number and text for the error? |

Varalakshmi.G,
Assuming that you've accounted for the RDW in the starting positions, the correct DFSORT statements would be:
| Code: |
INREC BUILD=(1,4,5:39,18)
SORT FIELDS=(5,18,CH,A)
|
You must specify the RDW (1,4) in the INREC statement, and you must use the positions from the reformatted record for the SORT statement. |
