Hi Frank,

I have tried your solution, but what i got in the output as shown below, instead of getting 4508 , i got 450I . i tried with input 4508, that time i got 450H. Please let me know , whats wrong with this?


With DFSORT, you will get 4508, not 450I. If you got 450I, then you're using Syncsort, not DFSORT. DFSORT uses an F sign for TO=ZD by default. Syncsort uses a C sign for TO=ZD by default. Since you're using Syncsort, not DFSORT, I'm moving this thread to the JCL Forum and I'll leave you to the "tender mercies" of others (it amazes me how off track these discussion can go before I get to work).

Ok Frank,

I just used PGM=ICEMAN...when i checked in my sysout it shows SYNCSORT for Z\OS. Whether it means i don't have DFSORT in my system?

How to find this? please let me know.

Thanks,
Guru

Hi,

Check the SYSOUT of some SORT JOB, if the messages appear there are of type ICExxxx then your shop make use of DFSORT & if messages are of type WERxxxx it's SyncSort. Both of these are competitive products and on this portal they are discussed under different forums. Syncsort falls under JCL forum & DFSORT question are discussed in DFSORT & ICETOOL forum. Please try to state about your SORT product by next time in case you are agin stuck up on some SORT query.

Hello,

Typically a system uses only one sort product. There are a rare number of organizations that, due to consolidation/merge of business units, have multiple sort products available.

You could ask your system support people if DFSORT is also available on your system. This topic has been moved to JCL where Syncsort questions are discussed.

Thanks Anuj and Dick,

I checked some of the production sort cards, it shows only WERxxxxx messages only. so i have only SYNCSORT installed on my system.

When you post a Syncsort question, it helps if you use Syncsort in the Subjext.
