Yes please, but please copy & paste the spool message instead of snapshot - please use BBcode when you do that. |

| The WER message indicates that your product is SyncSort. Can you post the sort card here. Since already you have faced this in production, what action you have taken? |

Hi,
This is somethinf about WER999A:
| Quote: |
WER999A indicates that an error condition occurred, preventing the successful completion of the sort. This message does not necessarily mean that SyncSort was responsible for the error. If, for example, the error is in the COBOL Input or Output Procedure of an invoked sort, WER999A will appear. WER999A indicates that SyncSort got control: after the error, printing this SyncSort message.
The documentation accompanying WER999A varies with the error involved. It may consist of a standard system dump (SYSUDUMP or SYSABEND) and/or a SyncSort-generated SNAP dump. The SyncSort SNAP is formatted very much like a SYSUDUMP. In debugging the SNAP, care must be taken to avoid reliance on the PSW AT ENTRY TO SNAP and the general registers. (A SNAP dump produced through the SyncSort DEBUG PARM or with a W-abend (i.e., WER999A UNSUCCESSFUL SORT xxxW) is only useful to a sort analyst at SyncSort MVS Product Services. See "What to Do Before Calling SyncSort
Product Services. See "What to Do Before Calling SyncSort MVS Product Services".) |
Is this " This message does not necessarily mean that SyncSort was responsible for the error. If, for example, the error is in the COBOL Input or Output Procedure of an invoked sort, WER999A will appear. WER999A indicates that SyncSort got control: after the error, printing this SyncSort message." applicable to you as well? |

Hello,
Does the code use input procedure/output procedure or using/giving?
If the code "stops running" while in an input or output procedure, strange abends may occur.
There may also be some additonal diagnostic info available that might be posted. |

Hello,
Suggest you carefully look thru the code for some condition that could cause the program to terminate while in the input or output procedure.
How much data is being sorted? There may a problem with space. . . |

Hi,
dick scherrer yes you are correct in the Ouput Procedure there is a check that if there is no record in the sort file , abend the program.
I think since it's a report program , I can give a exit in this condition instead of abend and let empty report get generated.
It should work.
Because of this abend condition S04C is encountered.
Thanks ! |
