i have unloaded two fields(x(20) and x(10)) from a db2 table using D2P4PROC.
It automatically creates a PS file in VB format.In the next JCL
step i am sorting and copying only the last 20 characters into another
GDG in FB format.The sort card i used is
INCLUDE COND=(22,10,CH,GT,C' ')
SORT FIELDS=(1,20,CH,A)
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:11,10,11:22,10)
END
But the outrec statement is failing with the message
"outrec rdw not created"
any solutions?...
