Hi,

I have a file of 120 bytes, with X'004D' (decimal 77) at position 82 in it on some records.
My requirement is to sort the file on certain fields and for all records where there is X'004D' in position 82, replace it with X'0037' (decimal 55) and rewrite the rest of the data in output.
I am using a SORT utility to do this, with the following sort card:
Code:

 SORT FIELDS=(1,1,CH,D,2,7,PD,A)
 OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(82,2,PD,EQ,X'004D'),
            BUILD=(1:1,81,82:X'0037',84:84,37))


The job fails on this SORT step, with following error:
ICE751I 2 C5-K48846 DA-K48846
ICE185A 0 AN S913 ABEND WAS ISSUED BY DFSORT, ANOTHER PROGRAM OR AN EXIT (PHASE 0)

I am looking for some assistance in resolving this issue.

Thanks,
Sid.

Contact your site support group -- S913 is security abend meaning you don't have access to one of the files.

Hello,

Also, a binary value is not PD. . . PD is Packed Decimal.

Sid,

Once you fix the 913 security error, you can use the following DFSORT statements to do what you asked for:

Code:

 SORT FIELDS=(1,1,CH,D,2,7,PD,A)
 OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(82,2,BI,EQ,X'004D'),
            OVERLAY=(82:X'0037'))


If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
