You need to sort the data on the VSAM key before loading it into the file.

What is the key position and length of the VSAm file, and did you sort your flat file on exactly the same position and length.

Please show us your VSAM cluster definition.

Is the cluster an extended facilities VSAM cluster.

HI

I sorted the sortin qsam file with the same keys and then tried to sort into vsam file. Got
008(08)
Explanation for this error is :
You attempted to store a record with a Duplicate Key, or there
is a duplicate record for an alternate index with the unique
key option.

The copy book structure is :

Cusnok3
Cusno
Cusnok1
sttnum
keydte
Cusnok2
ownerid

Am i clear??
So what shall i do now?

Are you loading an empty cluster or adding records to an already populated cluster ?

If this is an empty cluster - please supply the information asked for below.

Well, I suppose I could once more ask you to post your cluster definition. Or at least ask that you tell me the key position and length.

Also your sort code will help too.

if You want advice on solving your problem You should post the requested information:
"THE VSAM CLUSTER IDCAMS DEFINE STATEMENT"

the records You posted appear to be in sequence, but the UNIQUE key is 4+3 bytes long;
if You used a 4 bytes vsam key then You are going to have duplicate records and hence the error .....

regards

This isn't LISTCAT - probably fileaid. Is the key location shown an offset or true position.

Also, back in the dark and distant past I recall when an extended facilities KSDS was defined the same problem ocurred, and was fixed by increasing the length of the VSAM definition by 4. Maybe worth trying with a 70 70 definition.

How can you prove this?

What was the sort message number that preceded this error:
RECORD OUT OF SEQUENCE - KEY FOLLOWS :
000000 F2F8F8F6 F2F9F9E2 F0
What does the above number represent, it is only nine bytes long?

What does the following represent:
cusno billnum
2890 100
2899 201
2899 202
2899 203
The above does not coincide to the VSAM key or the sorted fields of STTNO and KEYDTE?

SORT FIELDS=(9,19,CH,A,28,4,BI,A)

CUSNO01 1 66 66
3 CUSNOK3 GROUP
5 CUSNO X(7)
5 CUSNOTPE X
5 CUSNOK1 GROUP
7 STTNO X(19)
7 KEYDTE S9(9) comp

KSDS key length: 23
KSDS key location: 8
