Hi
I need to get a return code greater than 4 in a SORT step for testing purpose. I tried simulating errors like SORT FIELDS exceeding LRECL. But it gives U0016 as the return code
Any help is appreciated |

| I have a sort step..If the return code of that step 4 or less, I am executing the next step. I want to test the negative condition. ie. i need to get a RC > 4 for my SORT step so that the next step is skipped. If I try having invalid syntax for SORT or position in SORT CARD, greated than LRECL, SORT abends. The job doesnt proceed further. I m looking for a way where I can tweak my SORT card to force it tp give RC > 4 |

One quick way i can think of (and tried in my system) is to try reading more bytes than actually available from the input file.
A sort card like below will give RC 16 if the input dataset RECL is less than or equal to 80
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,81) |

Whether DFSORT gives RC=16 or a user abend depends on your site's setting for the ERET installation option (ERET=RC16 or ERET=ABEND). It appears your site has it set to ERET=ABEND. You can override this for a particular job using the following control statement:
| Code: |
//DFSPARM DD *
DEBUG NOABEND
/*
