hi,
i need to omit records having spaces using sort and i used
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=(1,142,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=NONE
OMIT COND=(26,99,CH,EQ,C' ')
|
this failed due to U016 beacuse i input file had some characters which seems to be like spaces but when we put F P'.' we are abelt o view it like
| Code: |
0998000637480500001
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF444444444444444444444444444
0998000637480500001000000000000000000000000000
----------------------------------------------
0998000637480500001 UAmendment Defi
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF4444444444EC9898989A434C888

The reason for failure need not be that, and unless you post the error messages and codes issued then nobody will be able to help you.
also, RECFM= LRECL= might come in handy too |

Hello,

Why would you believe the abend was due to "those characters"? You have named character data, so all 256 values are valid. . .
As Expat said, you need to post the diagnostic info from the execution that failed. |

If a 99byte field starting in position 26 is a 1-character blank? That looks like a good candidate for a bad return code.

Nope. You're misinterpreting the syntax. It's correct.
That OMIT statement actually checks the 99 characters for ALL blanks. When the field length is greater than the constant length, the constant is padded with blanks on the right to the field length. So in this case, the constant actually represents 99 blanks.
This would NOT cause a bad return code.

Now you can be doubly embarrassed. |

Actually, my built-in syntax-checker did not raise an alarm. . . heh heh heh 
So, then i replied to the text only.
Then came the "Catch" and i was like "Oh, Yeah" how'd i miss that
Then came the "Clarification" and i was like "Oh, Spit".

At least. . .
Wonder how much more of my foot i can get in my mouth before we actually see what caused the error(s). . .

My jcl is like
| Code: |
//STEP5 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=NAAAFG.ST.SCHD.OUTFILE.G0015,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=NAAAFG.ST.SCHDITEM.OUT,
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SYSDA,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=343),
// VOL=(,,,10),
// SPACE=(CYL,(1000,1000),RLSE)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,343,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=NONE
OMIT COND=(26,300,CH,EQ,C' ')
//*
|
and the abend looks like
| Code: |
SYSIN :
SORT FIELDS=(1,343,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=NONE
OMIT COND=(26,300,CH,EQ,C' ')
*
WER251A INCLUDE/OMIT INVALID LENGTH
WER211B SYNCSMF CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000
|
but the length everything is correct |

Hi,
I think you will find 256 is the max you can use.

| I ran a test with LRECL=32000 and it worked fine with 125 OMIT conditions. I suspect it can accommodate more. |
