The SYMNAMES file must have RECFM=FB and LRECL=80 so you can't use 60. That's the reason for the error in step 2. Please go back and read my previous posts.
is it that the regions whatever jobs am running are invoking syncsort i believe. how to invoke DFSORT...am getting U0016 abend when i used LREC as 80 and the jCl you have used...

Hello,
I believe your problem is not a sort problem, but rather understanding how files and jcl work together.
The 013-20 is simply a dcb conflict.
What happens if you run the job exactly as Frank posted? Rather than changing things around, it would be better to work thru the already proven solution.
Submit the unchanged job and post the jcl, control statements and all messages created byt he sort (including the message ids).
