hi,
Is there any tool to check errors in DFSORT control cards without submitting the job.
Example like JSCAN, JEM or PREP
Thanks

Hi,
If you are talking about errors such as
| Code: |
| INVALID INREC STATEMENT |
shown in SYSOUT of some sort JCL, then i think answer is No.
Such an error is logical error & not a syntax error, so they'll not be checked or perhaps I've never thought/heard for such a tool.
HTH... |

The answer is No regardless. You can only see the DFSORT error messages (of any type) by submitting the job. |

| We use ProJCL and it will detect some syntax errors on SORT control cards in SYSIN DD * while checking the JCL. |

| Really? Does it understand DFSORT's advanced functions like IFTHEN, PARSE, SQZ, JFY, etc? Or does it just do the basic stuff? |

Some simple errors were caught by ProJCL:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WREN=(1,A,CH,EQ,C'DTL'),
: |
detected WREN as invalid keyword for this statement type, but did not detect 'A' as a bad length parameter.
It did detect invalid length in
| Code: |
| SORT FIELDS=(1,A,CH,A) |

Hello,

Possibly because WREN terminated the checking at that point of that statement  |

First, your organization would need to purchase/license the product.
For info, i'd suggest http://www.asg.com/products/products.asp for a starting place. |
