Hi,

I want to download from a db2 based table. For the same I am providing the file name with the following parameters.
Code:

//UTIL     EXEC DSNUTDH1,SYSTEM=TDH1,UID='PV5240A',UTPROC=''
//DSNUTDH1.SYSREC DD DSN=PV5240A.DB2.CARR.MKT.DTL,           
//    DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),                             
//    DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=108),                             
//    SPACE=(CYL,(20,20),,,ROUND)                           
//*                                                         
//*                                                         
//DSNUTDH1.SYSLISTD DD DSN=PV5240A.DB2.CARR.DEFENIT,         
//    DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=108,BLKSIZE=0,DSORG=PS),         
//    DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=DISK,                   
//    SPACE=(CYL,(10,10),RLSE)                             
//*                                                         


After the downloading is complete, I am trying to copy the data file into the GDG base whose definition is as follow:
Code:

//STEP02   EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,COND=(0,LT)                         
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                           
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                           
//SYSIN    DD DUMMY                                               
//SYSUT1   DD DSN=PV5240A.DB2.CARR.MKT.DTL,DISP=(SHR,CATLG,DELETE)
//SYSUT2   DD DSN=PV5240A.DB2.CARR.MKT.BKUP(+1),                   
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),                           
//            SPACE=(CYL,(20,20),,,ROUND),                       
//            DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=108)                           
/*                                         
                       

But when I try to execute the above job, the job abends with a MAXCC=12. In the spool I am getting the following error display:

Code:

DATA SET UTILITY - GENERATE       
IEB311I CONFLICTING DCB PARAMETERS


When i checked out the data file's parameters, I found that to be of VB instead of FB and its LRECL is 113 instead of 108.

Swapnadeep,

One of the possibel reasons for your error-

Quote:
The output logical record length is different from the input logic
record length or the input record format is variable and the output
record format is fixed when editing is not specified. Refer to z/OS
DFSMSdfp Utilities, SC26-7414, section ''Changing Logical Record
Length'' under IEBGENER


Verify your IP and OP file attributes.

Hi Murali,

Can you please be a bit more ellaborative?

I have already specified that the type of data file(PV5240A.DB2.CARR.MKT.DTL) that I am creating is of the VB type with LRECL of 113.
But I mentioned it in my JCL to be of FB type with a LRECL of 108.

Swapnadeep,

You cannot SIMPLY convert FB to VB or vice-versa.

If you need to do this, search DFSORT forum.... you will get info on conversion.

Then the best method is to change the file into FB format with my required LRECL using the DFSORT.

Then shall i proceed to copy this changed file into my GDG?

Why do you need one more step? You can directly copy the data into GDG GENERATION using the SORT (during conversion itself).

Please correct me if I am going wrong any where in the following piece of code:
Code:

//STEP01   EXEC PGM=DFSORT,COND=(0,LT)                   
//SYSIN    DD *                                           
SORT FIELDS=(1,4,CH,A)                                   
OUTFIL FNAMES=PV5240A.DB2.CARR.MKT.BKUP(+1),VTOF,OUTREC=(1,108)
//

Wrong. Go thru the outfil syntax.

The synatx is:

SORT FIELDS=(7,8,CH,A)
OUTFIL FNAMES=FB1,VTOF,OUTREC=(5,76)

Now as per my understanding, FB1 stands for the output file name. Outrec specifies the LRECL.

Please correct me if i am wrong in my understanding.

i.e OUTFIL FNAMES=PV5240A.DB2.CARR.MKT.BKUP(+1),VTOF,OUTREC=(1,108) part is correct in syntax???

Probably this might give some idea about the error.

I am getting the idea that the module DFSORT is not available. So how can I proceed next?

Is this a system utility defined by IBM?

Your shop may not have IBM's DFSORT, use the standard name of SORT and it should point to the availible version.....

Swapnadeep,

Dont you think you are repeating the OUTFIL syntax error again and again?

Swapnadeep,
You need at least one space in front of the control statement.

In your prev example, FB1 is a ddname and not the actual OP file name.

I have having one more issue regarding the above problem...

Some junk value are getting written into the backup file.

E.g. the following is the extract from the data file(Variable block file)

Code:


***************************** Top of Data ******************************
 ³1920-01-012005-08-03  2005-08-03 9999-12-31National Accounts - SAM/CAD
 ³1920-01-012005-08-03  2005-08-03 9999-12-31NAG - Special Program     
 ³1920-01-012005-08-03  2005-08-03 9999-12-31Specialty - GULF           
 ³1920-01-012005-08-03  2005-08-03 9999-12-31National - Canada         


However the extract from the GDG based Fixed block file is as under:
Code:

***************************** Top of Data ******************************
 É  ³1920-01-012005-08-03  2005-08-03 9999-12-31National Accounts - SAM
 É  ³1920-01-012005-08-03  2005-08-03 9999-12-31NAG - Special Program 
 É  ³1920-01-012005-08-03  2005-08-03 9999-12-31Specialty - GULF       
 É  ³1920-01-012005-08-03  2005-08-03 9999-12-31National - Canada     


Can you please let me know how can i remove these junk value from my file?
