ICE017A CONTROL FIELD DISPLACEMENT OR LENGTH VALUE ERROR
Explanation: Critical.
The message was issued for one of the following reasons:
The length or position of a control field was specified incorrectly.
The position plus length for a control field exceeded 32753.
A bit position or length specified a control field whose format is not BI.
A bit position or length exceeded 7.
VLSHRT was in effect and control fields were too complex.
Check the position, length, and format of each control field for the situations described above.

You're really behind on DFSORT service. Sort fields up to position 32752 have been supported in DFSORT since March, 2002. You don't have that PTF installed or any of the other functional PTFs since then. Ask your System Programmer to install DFSORT R14 PTF UQ95213 (Dec, 2004). That will give you all of the current DFSORT functional PTFs.

A field of 4085,19 ends in position 4103. Prior to the March, 2002 PTF, DFSORT only supported sort fields that ended at or before position 4092. With the March, 2002 PTF, DFSORT supports sort fields that end at or before position 32752.
