Hi,
I am doing a cobol sort program.
The sort statement is :-
SORT SORT-NASCCBF-FILE ON ASCENDING KEY SD-CBF-GROUP-NO
SD-CBF-ALPHA-PREFIX
SD-CBF-PARPLAN-NO
SD-CBF-PARPLAN-NAME
SD-CBF-BCDELIVERY-MODEL
USING NASCCBF-FILE
OUTPUT PROCEDURE IS 3000-ARRAY-PROCESS-PARA
THRU 3000-EXIT.
IF SORT-RETURN NOT EQUAL TO ZERO
DISPLAY 'ABNORMAL SORT , RC = ' SORT-RETURN
END-IF.
File control :-
1. Input file
SELECT NASCCBF-FILE ASSIGN TO NASCCBFF
ORGANIZATION IS SEQUENTIAL
ACCESS IS SEQUENTIAL
FILE STATUS IS NASCCBFF-STATUS.
2. sort file :-
SELECT SORT-NASCCBF-FILE ASSIGN TO UT-S-SORTWK01.
FD ENTRY :-
1. INPUT FILE -
FD NASCCBF-FILE
RECORDING MODE IS F
LABEL RECORDS ARE STANDARD
BLOCK CONTAINS 0 RECORDS
DATA RECORD IS NASCCBF-REC.
01 NASCCBF-REC.
05 CBF-GROUP-NO PIC X(16).
05 CBF-ALPHA-PREFIX PIC X(13).
05 CBF-PARPLAN-NO PIC X(11).
05 CBF-PARPLAN-NAME PIC X(22).
05 CBF-BCDELIVERY-MODEL PIC X(29).
05 CBF-PCPM PIC X(11).
05 CBF-EFFECTIVE-DATE PIC X(15).
05 CBF-TERM-DATE PIC X(08).
SORT FILE :-
SD SORT-NASCCBF-FILE
DATA RECORD IS SORT-NASCCBF-REC.
01 SORT-NASCCBF-REC.
05 SD-NASCCBF-KEY.
10 SD-CBF-GROUP-NO PIC X(16).
10 SD-CBF-ALPHA-PREFIX PIC X(13).
10 SD-CBF-PARPLAN-NO PIC X(11).
10 SD-CBF-PARPLAN-NAME PIC X(22).
10 SD-CBF-BCDELIVERY-MODEL PIC X(29).
05 SD-CBF-PCPM PIC X(11).
05 SD-CBF-EFFECTIVE-DATE PIC X(15).
05 SD-CBF-TERM-DATE PIC X(08).
After the sort is encountered I am getting an error in sort with sort return code = 20.
From ibm manuals the error stands for :-
Invalid comparison between two data types in SELECT
Please help me identify what exactly is the issue.
Thanks,
Bijoy |

You have
| Code: |
| SELECT SORT-NASCCBF-FILE ASSIGN TO UT-S-SORTWK01. |
and the COBOL Programming Guide manual (link at the top of the page) says
| Quote: |
1.12.8 Defining sort and merge data sets
To use DFSORT under z/OS, code DD statements in the runtime JCL to describe the necessary data sets that are listed below.
Sort or merge
work Define a minimum of three data sets: SORTWK01, SORTWK02, SORTWK03, . . ., SORTWKnn (where nn is 99 or less). These data sets cannot be in the HFS.
SYSOUT
Define for sort diagnostic messages, unless you change the data-set name. (Change the name using either the MSGDDN keyword of the OPTION control statement in the SORT-CONTROL data set, or using the SORT-MESSAGE special register.)
SORTCKPT
Define if the sort or merge is to take checkpoints.
Input and
output Define input and output data sets, if any. |
Note that the SORTWK01, 2, ... files are separate from and not the same as your USING and GIVING files. Your error is probably due to using a sort work file name instead of a sort file name in the ASSIGN. |

So, what did you change your ASSIGN to look like? What does the DD statement in your JCL look like for the file you assigned? Just posting that you changed it and saying it didn't work doesn't give us anything to go from -- without knowing exactly what you are attempting, any advice we give you could be very wrong. Let's see the revised ASSIGN statement and the associated DD statement in your JCL. Use BBcode for this post, too -- it makes the items more readable.
And waiting five minutes before asking again is pretty rude, IMHO, since the people who respond on this forum do tend to have other jobs that pay them to work, not answer your questions immediately. |

Hello,

What is the message id for this? What statement causes this error?
What other diagnostic information is generated in the problem run?

If i remember correctly, sort-return contains zero for a successful sort and 16 for a failure. . . Please post the link to where you found this:
