Hello,

Instead of
Code:
 MERGE FIELDS=(45,2,A,CH)

try
Code:
 MERGE FIELDS=(45,2,CH,A)

Reddy,

A small doubt, your original JCL (first post of this thread from you) shows
Code:
MERGE FIELDS=(46,2,CH,A)

while in SYSOUT you got the error in
Code:
MERGE FIELDS=(45,2,A,CH)

bit strange for me. Can you please clarify.

I think for MERGE, we should have to use EXEC PGM=ICEMAN.

Change the EXEC PGM=SORT to EXEC PGM=ICEMAN and MERGE FIELDS=(46,2,A,CH) to MERGE FIELDS=(46,2,CH,A)

Sort will work just fine, but you must get the format of the fields parameter correct......

Balakrishna reddy,

MERGE FIELDS=(46,2,A,CH) is an incorrect syntax.
Change MERGE FIELDS=(46,2,A,CH) to MERGE FIELDS=(46,2,CH,A) and make sure that the SORTINnn input files are in the sorted order of 46,2,CH,A

This means that SORTOUT DD statement could not be found.

Reddy,

In a nut-shell, what Dick has suggested long back use that syntax. After the change, show your JCL & the SYSOUT messages from this JOB to get better suggestions.
However, in the SYSOUT, shown above in your post, there is
Code:
SORTOUT  NOT DEFINED
I think, instead of SORTOUT, you used some other DD Name(ah..I can just guess, please show your JCL & SYSOUT).

Hi Balakrishna,

As per my observation, I have few questions and suggessions to you

Question 1:

Did you create the dataset to store the output records ? Or Are you creating newly in the same JCL ?

Suggession 1 :
If Not, try with the DCB parameters with equal record length of your input records.

Question 2 :

Did you mention temporary work space ? I hope you didn't mention the temporary work space for sorting and merging all the records that are located in input files.

Suggession 2 :

If you didn't mention that then please code this
//SORTWK00 DD UNIT=SYSDA, SPACE=(CYL ( n , n), RLSE )
or
//SORTWK00 DD DSN=&TEMP, UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL ( n , n), RLSE ) (Note : Code Primary & Secondary spaces based on your number of inputs records)

Suggession 3 :

If your input records are more please specify more work spaces.. Like this..

//SORTWK00 DD UNIT=SYSDA, SPACE=(CYL ( n , n), RLSE )
//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=SYSDA, SPACE=(CYL ( n , n), RLSE )
//SORTWK02 DD UNIT=SYSDA, SPACE=(CYL ( n , n), RLSE )
//SORTWK03 DD UNIT=SYSDA, SPACE=(CYL ( n , n), RLSE )

Suggession 4 :

Check all your input records of length, formate,blocksize also, should be equal in all the input data sets.

Suggession 5 :

Try use PGM=SORT


Please let me know if it works / any issues..

Please try to mention clear information about the issue with JOB and JCL error messages.

Hi,

You have given SORTOUT1 in your SORT, change it to SORTOUT
Code:
SORTOUT1  DD   DSN=TEST.BALA.FILE,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
If you'll use above code you'll get U0016 & SYSOUT will show
Code:
SORTOUT  NOT DEFINED


So change your SORTOUT1 DD name to SORTOUT & let us know the result.
