Hi,

I need to use the CARDIN DDNAME for SORTIN. Please help me.

Code:
//SORT     EXEC PGM=SORT                           
//CARDIN    DD *                                   
A000000000000000
//SORTOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                           
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                           
//SYSIN     DD *                                   
  OPTION SORTIN=CARDIN,COPY
  OUTREC BNUILD=(1:1,20)
/*


the above code is not working i dont why?
Code:
WER267A  SORT STATEMENT    : STATEMENT NOT FOUND


it is saying SORT statement not found.

I have tried with IDCAMS REPRO also. USing IDCAMS i can copy this CARDIN inline values to other &&TEMP files. But i need to outout file as FB 20.

You have SyncSort, so topic moved to the JCL forum, where SyncSort questions live.

Check your SyncSort documentation.

Why do you "have" to use it?

Please always copy/paste your code here, so that we do not end up diverted by typos, like BNUILD.

You could always add

Code:
  SORT FIELDS=COPY


as an investigatory measure.

Thanks Enrico, Pandora and Bill for all your replies.

This Job is getting submitted from the CICS via assembler program. I cannot change the DDNAME from CARDIN which is defined in assembler.

I have read some manuals and found this will work only if we are calling SORT externally. But i dont have any other choice using this DDNAME CARDIN. So i need to override the default SORTIN DD to my CARDIN DD.

If no way in SORT then i have to use IDCAMS first to COPY in first step, then building the FB 20 using SORT in another step.

I could not find the way in SORT. So i came to you all experts.

I think your best bet will be the link that Anuj provided. Have a DD name for CARDIN and then the SORTIN referring to that.
