Hi,
Please post the JCL used & the complete diagnostic information to get better replies. U00012 doesn't help much to suggest something. |

| And what do you mean by HEX format? Data is EBCDIC, or ASCII, and a specific code page can be needed to properly display the data, but "HEX format" is a meaningless phrase. |

How did you try this? Did you IEBGENER (or other utility) the file to another RECFM or did you just specify a different RECFM in the JCL? RECFM=U, which is what it would seem you have anyway is "undefined" format.

This is irrelevant, HEX may be how you view the data, it's not a format in this sense. Do you mean it's unpacked on the tape to a printable representation? In any case, a copy operation shouldn't care.
Regards,
Garry. |

| Something else important to know is how was the tape file created? If an application program created the file, SYNCSORT will probably be able to copy it to disk. If a system utility such as ADRDSSU or IEBCOPY created the tape, unloading it to disk using SYNCSORT probably will not give you access to the data in the way you want. |

Velmurugan_j,
Please post the code you used to copy from Tape to Disk, this would help others to analyze and find the issue.
Thanks. |

Hello,
It may also help if you describe how the tape was created. |

Hi Velmurugan_j !
Check if DITTO is installed in your shop. If yes, you could copy the file using the Ditto-Functions. |

Velmurugan_j,
As Anuj and Itanium requested, please post your JCL. Also post the SyncSort critical error message that was produced when you tried to run this job (WERnnnA ...message text). This will help us to better address the issue. Thank you. |

Hi,
BTW, is U00012 a valid abend code ? Might be I'm missing something, but I think I've faced "U0012 (with two zeros)" if I've ever ... |
