First learn to use BBcode tagas, they make your code rather readable.

Second, what are you trying to do and what are you asking? Showing the DEFINE for VSAM serves what purpose here?

  • Is the VSAM loaded before using it? Statistics say yes, but was it reporo or something else?
  • You define VSAM and use SORT to load it, no?
  • Are you using same input and output for SORT application?

Code:
  OUTFIL OUTREC=(1,4,1,4,5,10,279,9,15,264,288,5710),VLFILL=C' '


I think the above will mess up you VSAM key.


Topic should be in JCL where the Syncsort questions live.

Thanks Anuj, I will use BBCODE tag in my further postings.

Actually what my requirement was

I want to copy a VSAM file to another VSAM file, both are is VB format.
And want to change few positions as below.
key part 10 bytes same as input and wanted data as mentioned below.

<BBcode>
OUTREC=(1,4,5,10,279,9,15,264,288,5710),
</BBcode>

I have mentioned VSAM Definition how i created and sort job to copy.

Thanks,
Ram.

OUTREC=(1,4,5,10,279,9,15,264,288,5710),


Thanks,
Ram.

I have checked in input file, there is no duplicates and key is in sorted order.
Please let me know if there is anything wrong in VSAM definition.

Is there any way to do same using IDCAMS ( both copying and rearrange the positions in output file ).

Thanks in advance.
Ram.

What did the WER255A error message tell you.

That is the first place to look rather than post on here

Hi Expat,

Not too sure if I recall correctly, but there isn't an RDW for VSAM files although you may have to add 4 to all of the starting positions but not have to specify the 1,4 for the RDW.

Of course I could be wrong, but it gives you another avenue to research.

Hi Expat,

There are files with variable length in VSAM.

I am using this file in my requirement.

thanks,
Ram.

Just to show yourself what you mean, why don't you define an ESDS - same info except the key - and use that as your output from the sort. Then you can see what you are doing.

Also, look at your manual, examples here with VSAM KSDS output, etc.

Hi Please clarify below query

IS it possible to add one more field to the VSAM key fields using idcams or sort and copy to another VSAM file ?

eg:-
VB i/p file :- key 10 bytes; total rec size :- 80
1-10 11-80

VB-o/p file:- Key 15 bytes, total rec size :- 80
50-55 1-10 11-49 56-80

In the above output file, key fields are 50-55 and 1-10.
and remaing feilds needs to shift to right side.

Is it possible to acheive this using IDCAM / Sort.Please let me know how to acheive this using any utility.

thanks,
Ram.

Yes, it is possible.

The way you are attempting it, sort of.

You mustn't screw up the key. If you chop it about and make a mess of it, it is unlikely to complete successfully and it definitely won't work.

If you ask and then ignore all suggestions, I'm not sure how you expect to get anywhere.

Why don't you give us the full picture of what you are attempting to do?

Whilst at it, have a think about this one as well.

Tell me which page in the VSAM manuals (any one you like) describes Variable Blocked (VB) datasets. Don't tell me all the other obvious stuff, just what it says about VB please.

This may be the root of your failure to create the VSAM file that you want.

You'd better disregard this reply of mine. I didn't read the question, but assumed it was related to what you were already doing.

Different question, different topic please. I'd say Yes for Sort, Don't Think So for REPRO. A good way that I'd favour it to actually consider going to the effort of writing a program, if that best fits the requirement (which automatically assumes professionalism).

Hi Bill,

Actually i didnt see any documentation related to VSAM variable blocked datasets.

While doing the above requirement, i got few error which are related to variable block datasets eg:- input short record; RDW not in control card

Based on this i assumed that the input file is a variable block file. Also when i check with matching copybook it was 4bytes less than this file.

Thanks,
Ram.

Hi Ram,

You wouldn't see VSAM documentation for VB, because it means nothing in VSAM, because VSAM uses its own methods for storing the data.

Another misconception that you have has been pointed out by Mr Akatsukami. The 1C is not telling you about the input file, but about the output file as has been arranged by your sort statements.

I'm a bit lost as to where you are with all this. I have already suggested you run your output to an ESDS so that you can verify what the key looks like on the output. If that is all OK, then it implies that you have a duplicate key you are trying to insert on your KSDS - a record already existing.

If after this you still have problems, post your current sort cards, a few records from the input, sequential output and the KSDS (same sort of key ranges) and we can have a new look.

Hi Bill,

I did as you said, created ESDS file and cheked the data i did not find any duplicates and order also correct.

when i am running the below jcl, am getting few records in output file and getting RC 16 with below error:-
VSAM LOGICAL ERROR 1C ON OUTPUT

Also when i change CYL in VSAM def, record count varying in output file.
I hope something we need to change in VSAM def.

below is my VSAM def, which am using while copying using sort card:-

Code:

VSAM LOGICAL ERROR 1C :

Data set cannot be extended because VSAM cannot allocate additional direct-access storage space. Either there is not enough space left in the data space for the secondary-allocation request or an attempt was made to increase the size of a data set by splitting the control area (high used RBA change) during processing with SHROPT=4 and DISP=SHR.

You dont use SHROPT=4, so it would be the secondary allocation. Look for messages in your job log, indicating an allocation problem.

How can i correct you if you dont understand what i said.

Once again, you dont use SHROPT=4. So look for secondary allocation problems in your job log.
