Dear ,

When I use NULLOUT=RC4, it gives me Max-RC = CC 0004 but when I use NULLOUT=RC16 it gives me ABENDU0016 and I am expecting to get CC 0016 instead.

Am not sure if the reason is SYNCSORT does not support NULLOUT=RC16

Dear Nuthan,

The following gives me RC4 as expected :



Code:

XXXXXXXX JOB11714 XXXXXXX     1 CC 0004    PRINT      L   724


Sysout is :

Hello,

Please post your complete jcl and control info (changing the userid, dsn, or anything else that should not be broadcast). Somewhere there is some info as to why the abend - please post that as well.

/*                                                                     
//*             


The only difference is for the RC16, I am coding as NULLOUT=RC16.

Hello,

One more time. . . icon_smile.gif

Is there a "DD STATEMENT MISSING" anywhere in the output? If there is, please add that as a DD SYSOUT=*.

There should be some diagnostic info as to why the abend was raised. I would expect there was output created by Syncsort to show the error. I've not had Syncsort abend and not provide abend info icon_confused.gif

Dear Dick,

Hmmm, no DD statement missing, as I mentioned I am using the same JCL except I change NULLOUT=RC16 instead of NULLOUT=RC4.

I don't see any other diagnostic message other than the SYSOUT I have posted above.

When I try to compare between both the sysout, the difference is on the below :

Code:
WER276B  SYSDIAG= 202766, 410806, 410806, 820512                         
WER164B  7,684K BYTES OF VIRTUAL STORAGE AVAILABLE, MAX REQUESTED,       
WER164B     0 BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 4,240K BYTES USED                 
WER146B  12K BYTES OF EMERGENCY SPACE ALLOCATED                         
.
.
WER410B  4,608K BYTES OF VIRTUAL STORAGE AVAILABLE ABOVE THE 16MEG LINE,
WER410B     0 BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 4,092K BYTES USED

Hi,
I could have sworn that the "complete JCL" was invoking ICEMAN.

My question was going to be, doesn't ICEMAN invoke DFSORT and not SYNCSORT ?


How do these threads get changed after they are posted ?

IIRC in many installations SYNCSORT is aliased to ICEMAN
( to ease up a conversion )

Many Syncsort sites use the same PGM= names as are used with DFSORT. ICEMAN will invoke whichever sort product it is aliased to.

I believe i added the "Syncsort" to the topic title and relocated the topic when i found out this was not a DFSORT topic. That was a few of hours after the initial post. I've not changed anything else (iirc).

Shanthi Jayaraman,
As said by Dick , your site is invoking SYNCSORT even though you code PGM=ICEMAN. If you see WER messages(WER276B etc..) in the sysout it menas that you are having SYNCSORT instalation.

Thanks

Okay, I understood that, but still my question remains that why when I code NULLOUT=RC16 I am getting ABENDU0016 and not MAX-RC CC 0016 instead.

Is it because its SYNCSORT? I dont think so as Nuthan replied that he tried and he manage to get 16.

I don't see any other sysout messages other than the one I have posted above.

Hi,
actually I tried the same using ICEMAN and recceived an abend code of U206 when using NULLOUT=RC16 even though the SYSOUT messages showed it accepted the RC16

Code:

 ICE052I 0 END OF DFSORT                             
X=OPTIMAL,DSPSIZE=MAX ,ODMAXBF=0,SOLRF=Y,VLLON


As mentioned in an earlier thread message ICE250I means it's not the latest release of DFSORT.

So my guess is that is needs the latest release of SYNCSORT or DFSORT for this feature to work.

Shanthi Jayaraman,

Try to code the the parm with 'NORC16'.

Code:

STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT,PARM='NORC16'

Dear Sril.Krishy,

Yes, this worked.

May I know how this helped to resolve the ABENDU0016?

And this will be in effect for only this step right?

Shanthi Jayaraman,

Yes,this will be applicable only for this step.The delivered option for this by SYNCSORT is NORC16.But your site might be having a override on the default value.

You can run the below step and see what are all the dafult options and override options.

Code:


//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SYNCTOOL
//TOOLMSG   DD SYSOUT=*     
//DFSMSG    DD SYSOUT=*     
//OUT       DD SYSOUT=*     
//TOOLIN    DD *           
  DEFAULTS LIST(OUT)       
/*                         


In our environment,we can see the non default options with a '*' Indicator once we run the above job and look into the OUT.


Thanks

Dear Sril.Krishy,

Thank you very much. This is what I can see :

Code:
* NOSNAP             
  NULLOFL = RC0     
  NULLOUT = RC0     
  OUTSPCE = 16       
  PARMNME = $ORTPARM
  PREFIX  = TDS.     
* RC16    = ABE     
  RELEASE = ON   


Does this mean when I return 16, it has been set to abend (ABE)?
But for the NULLOUT, the default is RC0. But my RC4 worked... icon_confused.gif
