Hi - I am running following step to convert a TAPE file into a VB file.
| Code: |
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=SORT
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=TAPE-File,DISP=SHR
//VBOUT DD DSN=DASD-file,
// DISP=(NEW,KEEP,KEEP),
// SPACE=(CYL,(500,500),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=200,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=VBOUT,FTOV
/*
|
getting following error
| Code: |
SYSIN :
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=VBOUT,FTOV
WER276B SYSDIAG= 193919, 5999967, 5999967, 7144725
WER164B 8,864K BYTES OF VIRTUAL STORAGE AVAILABLE, MAX REQUESTED,
WER164B 0 BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 2,298,348 BYTES USED

Could you please share some thoughts what might be going wrong.
I have around 32 million records on tape and due to shortage of space on DASD i am trying to get these on to a VB file instead of FB. |

| I dont see a RDW in your output record length. |

Are you specifying the output LRECL in the JCL? You'd possibly avoid the problem if you let Syncsort do it.
As Peter has said, you have not accounted for the RDW in the 200 you've specified. |

Hello,
I may be mistaken, but if the input is fixed and you do not specify the new output variable length will the new file not be the original length with an added 4 bytes (rdw) making the file actually larger?
I believe the process needs to read the original file and depending on content, format new variable length records. Then anything that is to use this has to be changed to handle the variable length records. |

Not sure I follow the logic here. If all of the input records are FB, where is the DASD saving coming from. Surely all fields of the records are all fully populated so in fact you would be using 4 extra bytes per record instead of saving space.
Assuming that the last field does not use all of the allocated length.
What about the programs that access the file, won't they need to be amended to reflect the change in blocking used. |
