Here, FNBV.OTPD is a VSAM file. Iam trying to build a file PRD.TYB.VSAM.SORT that would contain character '3' in the first position and the timestamp in the next 26 bytes. The problem that Iam facing here is that when the file PRD.TYB.VSAM.SORT is built, it contains low values in the first position, character '3' in the next position and then the timestamp in the next 26 bytes and then low values again till the end of the record.
The output file looks like:
Code:
BROWSE PRD.TYB.VSAM.SORT Line 00000000 Col 001 080
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR

Now, when I change the record length to 27 (since I just need a total of 27 bytes in my file), it give me an abend with the following message:
Code:
SYSIN :
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(7,5,CH,EQ,C'CHGBK',AND,125,3,CH,EQ,C'AF2')
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,1,C'3',440,26)
END
WER276B SYSDIAG= 1354522, 1710850, 1710850, 455297

WER237I OUTREC RECORD LENGTH = 28
WER110I SORTOUT : RECFM=FB ; LRECL= 27; BLKSIZE= 27972
WER247A SORTOUT HAS INCOMPATIBLE LRECL
WER211B SYNCSMF CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000
Can some one pls help me with this and let me know where am going wrong.

As per the above condition you are first writing
1) One byte starting from the 1st position
2) A character "3" in the 2nd position
3) Then 26 bytes starting from the 440th position.
You dont have to specify LRECL for your output dataset as SORT will take care of the same. Try executing the JCL removing the LRECL parameter. The output dataset would be allocated with record length 28. Try and let us know.

Cics Guy,

Probably because the second 1 specified what byte from the input you wanted placed at that position (the first 1) in the output.....
Second byte (1) indicates the length and the first byte (1) specifies the starting position in the input file. So 1 byte of data starting from position 1 in the input file would be written to the output.
