Hi,
I am a novice to mainframes and I wanted to use DF SORT tecchnique to add a leading '$' symbol to a field in my record.
input
1234
output
$1234
the field starts from 106 and is 20 byte long.
I tried the following control card
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(106,20,JFY=(SHIFT=RIGHT,LEAD=C'$'))
|
but the error dipslayed is
"E1 8 DSS10065E PARAMETER 'JFY' IS UNIDENTIFIED"
My DFSORT is VIR5 but I dont know how to find if PTF is UK90007.
The JFY option is avaialable only for VIR5 PTF UK90007.
Could you please help me??? Where in my system details could i find it out?? |

| The solution to this (when it arrives) should be added to the DFSORT New Function stickies at the top of this forum. That way folks can check. |

This is NOT a DFSORT message. This has come up before - here's a relevant post:
| Quote: |
When I did a Jscan for the JCL using this sort card I got the error message given below:
E1 8 DSS10065E PARAMETER 'OVERLAY' IS UNIDENTIFIED.
But when I submitted the job ignoring the error message, it ran fine and I was able to get the desired output. |
I don't know why JSCAN (?) issues this message - maybe it isn't up-to-date on the new (or not so new) DFSORT functions. Anyone know?
You may indeed have the JFY function available despite what the message says. |

| Does anyone know which company offers JSCAN or even better a contact name? Seems like they either shouldn't be checking DFSORT control statements, or should keep up-to-date on the new options so they don't issue incorrect messages. |

This is from another forum:

JEM is one of a few Edit Macros that are part of JOB/SCAN. Besides using it for JCL Validation, you can also enforce site specific JCL standards. There are other Edit Macros available for JCL reformatting/alignment, and for making JCL Changes. Using either JEM (Edit Mode) or JSCAN (Browse/View Mode), you can have the PROCS expanded as long as the Procedure libraries are defined in the JOB/SCAN PARMLIB library, in member JSOPT02 (default member shipped). If you would like more information about JOB/SCAN from Diversified Software, please forward me an Email at doug.berg@diversifiedsoftware.com

| The message matches the ProJCL product we use here. Formerly Diversified Software, it's now owned by ASG Software Solutions. My contact for them is support@asg.com |

| Yeah, the e-mail to Doug didn't work. I looked them up and found the ASG website - the contact e-mail is info@asg.com so I'm trying that. I'll go ahead and try support@asg.com too. Thanks. |

Hmmm ... ASG Technical Support says the product that issues DSS10065E is PRO/JCL (JJSCAN). They know about the OVERLAY issue and plan to fix it in their next release. I pointed out that OVERLAY has been available since Dec, 2004 so they're way out-of-date and all of the information they need to bring their product up-to-date with respect to DFSORT parameters is available online. After a few exchanges, the Technical Support person promised to bring it to the attention of the PRO/JCL Product Manager, so we'll see. He also said:
| Quote: |
| I suggest that if you receive additional issues from your DFSORT clients with regard to our products, that you have them contact our support group at support@asg.com or 1-800-354-3578 |
So if anyone who uses this product wants to "complain" about the out-of-date DFSORT support, here's your chance. |
