Hi

I am trying to generate a report using DFRMM REPORT option and it uses SYNCSORT as SORT tool.
The SYSIN cards are as below:
Code:
OPTION VLSHRT                             
INCLUDE COND=((853,10,CH,LT,C'2010/084'))
INREC FIELDS=(1,4,                       
          809,44,C' ',                   
          9,6,C' ',                       
          318,4,C' ',                     
          1326,5,C' ',                   
          1058,8,C' ',                   
          853,10,C' ',                   
          863,6,C' ')
SORT FIELDS=(5,44,CH,A,
          50,6,CH,A,   
          77,10,CH,A,   
          88,6,CH,A)   

i am getting error for INREC:
Code:
INDD     : RECFM=VB   ; LRECL=  7004; BLKSIZE= 27998             
INREC RECORD LENGTH =   160                                       
TEMP     : RECFM=VB   ; LRECL=   160; BLKSIZE= 27998             
15,448K BYTES OF VIRTUAL STORAGE AVAILABLE ABOVE THE 16MEG LINE, 
   0 BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 15,448K BYTES USED                 
G=750,SEGLEN=4784                                                 
INREC  - SHORT RECORD                                             

I have read the previous post on OUTREC -SHORT RECORDS and tried to fix the issue.It didnot work.Can some one throw light on this pls.

May be you will have to search the forum for VLTESTI option. I remember having used this for INCLUDE CONDitions.

Good to hear it worked, but i don't believe this is a solution. . .

Suggest you invest the time to determine why it failed and why it works now. . .

If not, it is a time bomb waiting to cause problems at some other inopportune time. . .

Just as a curiosity, which report are you trying to generate. From my experience RMM comes with a complete set of pre defined reports. Is this something you are trying for yourself or the IBM supplied reports.

Yup. I am using REPORT3- EDGGR03 Inventory List by Volume Serial and submitted it.It had " OPTION VLSHRT,VLSCMP,NOCHALT " in the option statament and job abended with SYNTAX ERROR IN OPTION.
Hence i removed VLSCMP,NOCHALT. Now getting the INREC SHORT LENGTH error.

VLTEST1 did not work either.

It's VLTESTI and NOT VLTEST1.
It would be better if you show us the JCL you submitted

AFAIK, there's NO such option as VLTEST1. There is only VLTEST and VLTESTI. As per the manual,

VLTEST is used to handle records not long enough to contain all of the control fields specified in the SORT/MERGE control statement. It's default value is '1' which terminates the step on encountering a short record.

VLTESTI deals with handling variable length records during INCLUDE/OMIT pocessing.

Since your application is doing both INCLUDE and SORT processing, you might need to consider both the parameters mentioned above.

Thank you.
I have tried with both the parms with/without OPTION VLSHRT.
Now i am getting the message:
PARMLIST :
OPTION RESINV=0,ARESINV=0,MSGDDN=DFSMSG,SORTIN=INDD,SORTOUT=TEMP,SORTDD=INCL,DY
ALLOC
WER428I CALLER-PROVIDED IDENTIFIER IS "0001"
WER276B SYSDIAG= 1494626, 2415858, 2415858, 1069231
WER164B 15,488K BYTES OF VIRTUAL STORAGE AVAILABLE, MAX REQUESTED,
WER164B 0 BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 15,060K BYTES USED
WER108I INDD : RECFM=VB ; LRECL= 7004; BLKSIZE= 27998
WER257I INREC RECORD LENGTH = 136
WER110I TEMP : RECFM=VB ; LRECL= 136; BLKSIZE= 27998
WER410B 14,460K BYTES OF VIRTUAL STORAGE AVAILABLE ABOVE THE 16MEG LINE,
WER410B 0 BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 14,460K BYTES USED
WER036B G=827,SEGLEN=4448
WER250A INCLUDE/OMIT FIELD BEYOND RECORD
WER055I INSERT 0, DELETE 0
WER449I SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE

The code used:
//STEP11 EXEC PGM=SYNCTOOL,PARM='VLTESTI=1,VLTEST'
....
INCLCNTL :
INCLUDE COND=((853,10,CH,LE,C'2010/190'))
INREC FIELDS=(1,4,
9,6,C' ',
809,44,C' ',
119,10,C' ',
322,8,C' ',
318,4,C' ',
1326,5,C' ',
1058,8,C' ',
853,10,C' ',
863,6,C' ',
220,10,C' ',
230,10,C' ')
SORT FIELDS=(5,6,CH,A,
12,44,CH,A)
VLTESTI was for INCLUDE Statements right..it didnot select any record. i used VLTESTI=1 as well.
