Hi,

Earlier there is mismatch in the LRECL in the OUTPUT and SORTOUT LRECL. I made it same.

There are some options in DFSORT that allow for short records.

I suggest that you take a look at the SYNCSORT manual and see if the equivilent exists and use them.

If the i/p file is VB, in ur jcl above o/p file DCB parameters are not mentioned, and the job can't create a FB file.
code DCB parameter with RECFM=FB, and code control card as below:
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC BUILD=(5:65,3943)

Please try the below code
OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT,VTOF,
OUTREC=(1:25,7,2X,10:32,7,4X)
The outrec and inrec position can be chaged according to your need.

:)

If you encounter the error "OUTREC RDW not included", it typically means that the Record Descriptor Word (RDW) for variable-length records is not being handled correctly in your OUTREC statement. In variable-length records, the RDW is critical and must be properly managed.
