Hi,
I am getting 'LENGTH INVALID' error while copying a KSDS file to a flat file.
KSDS file has average and maximum length as 20 and I have given the same for PS file. The key in KSDS file is of length 11.
What can be the possible solutions to resolve this? |

The problem might be with the DCB parameters.
Does your JCL output give 'INVALID LENGTH I/O' error?
Can you please post the JCL messages? |

I have always used RECFM=VB LRECL=maxlrecl+4 for the output in the past with no problems.
Also consider using your SORT product for larger datasets. |

Thanks for that comment. Now I don't feel so dumb. I originally posted a request for the OP to show the contents of their SORT SYSOUT DD, since I always assume that everyone uses SORT for this type of activity. Silly me.  |

| Once it happened to me for ESDS then changing RECFM=VB from RECFM=FB was the solution. |

IDC3309I
** RECORD xxx NOT WRITTEN. LENGTH INVALID.
Explanation:
The specified record was not written for one of the following reasons:
* The record length was greater than the LRECL of the output data set (logical processing).
* The record length was less than the LRECL of the output data set and output RECFM=FIXED, or output is a relative record data set.
* The control-interval length to be written did not equal the control interval size for the output data set.
* The record length was less than the minimum output LRECL allowed (input LRECL + 4) when RECFM=F and output is to a subsystem device.
In the message text:
xxx
The first five bytes of the record in hexadecimal format.
System action:
The system continues processing until four such errors occur, in which case no more records are written to the data set.
Application Programmer Response:
Redefine the output data set with the correct LRECL or control interval size.
System programmer response:
If the error recurs and the program is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM Support Center. Provide the JCL and the SYSOUT output for the job.

The error message indicates you've got a conflict between the record lengths in the KSDS file and the sequential file you're trying to define -- not the defined record length for the KSDS, but the actual record lengths. Since the JCL you posted does not match the data set name in the error messages, there's not much more we can say. |

It wasn't your typo. . . I mis-read. . . and changed your original VB to FB believing that was a typo. . . .
I'll go quietly now. . .
