Why does this error come out?
JCL ERROR:
IEFC006I POSITIONAL PARAMETERS MUST BE SPECIFIED BEFORE KEYWORD PARAMETERS

Code:

//CDC024S  JOB (ACCT#),'CCC023',MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
//         CLASS=A,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//*
//STEP101   EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN    DD DSN=CCC024.TEST.INFILE1,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT   DD DSN=CCC024.TEST.OUTFILE1,
//             DISP=(,CATLG,CATLG),
//             SPACE(TRK,(5,5),RLSE)
//SYSIN    DD *
   SORT FIELDS=(1,2,CH,A)
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//*

SPACE requires an equals sign before the left parenthesis.

Hi,

I used to think that if that "=" is not coded then in JCL scan I should get
Code:
.JAAB     8 DSS6090E - "SPACE " NOT DELIMITED BY EQUAL SIGN


Was the JCL submitted without checking the JCL for syntax errors?

They would not have had anything in their shop for syntax checking.

And this tells us. . .what icon_confused.gif

What did you expect the scan to do?

What did the scan do?

If you describe what happened, someone here can tell you why it happened.
