Hi,

While trying to create a multiple title report in icetool i am facing the following error.

JCL

OCCUR FROM(INPUT) LIST(OUTPUT) BLANK HIGHER(4) -
DATE TITLE(' sting 1') -
TITLE(' string 2') PAGE -
TBETWEEN(2) -

error
SYT193E "TITLE" OPERAND APPEARS MORE THAN ONE TIME


Also in header I have a field which is defined as s9(2)V9(2) COMP-3. This field is a part of a DB. While unloading the table with format external, the length of the field becomes 6.

Please let me know how it needs to be defined in the header as well.

Nimi,

Your error message says you're using Syncsort and not dfsort. Syncsort questions are discussed in JCL forum and not here.

I believe multiple titles are possible in Icetool.

Nimi,

If you could post a few sample input records and the expected output out of it, somebody might be able to help.

You are looking at the dsfort documentation, not syncsort !

syncsort and dfsort are competitive products
syncsort to ease jcl compatiblity installs ICETOOL as an alias of SYNCTOOL

so as the message tells "SYN...."
You are executing SYBCSORT &&&&TOOL
not the DFSORT &&&&TOOL of which You have been reading the docs

I tried
TITLE('string1','string2') -

it gave me invalid operand.

whereas when I try
HEADER('header1','header2') -

it is working fine for columns.

Hello Nimi,

Have you come to understand that the "icetool" you are executing is not the code from IBM, but rather code from Syncsort?

DFSORT's ICETOOL does support multiple TITLE operands with z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90013 (July, 2008). However, you are using Syncsort's SYNCTOOL, not DFSORT's ICETOOL. Syncsort's SYNCTOOL does not support mulitple TITLE operands.

Support for multiple TITLE operands is available in SYNCTOOL release 1.6.2, which is included with SyncSort for z/OS 1.3.2.
