I have a VB file of length 104
I would like to keep first 26 characters as it is and then to insert a string 'ABC' at the position and 27
My JCL
| Code: |
//SORTIN DD DSN=MKK157.INFILE,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=MKK157.OUTFILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=(LRECL=105,BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=VB)
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(5:5,26,31:C'ABC',34:31,74)
/* |
Here is the Error Message
| Code: |
ICE000I 1 - CONTROL STATEMENTS FOR 5650-ZOS, Z/OS DFSORT V2R1 - 08:25 O
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(5:5,26,31:C'ABC',34:31,74)
ICE251A 0 MISSING RDW OR DATA FOR *OUTREC : REASON CODE 02, IFTHEN 0
|
Pls suggest me, How to rectify this error? |

| It's a variable length record, so you need to specify the RDW in the OUTREC statement |

Hi expat,
I have also tried
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:1,4,5:5,26,31:C'ABC',34:31,74)
/*
|
But error stays the same.
Code'd |

Try
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:1,4,5:5,26,31:C'ABC',34:31)

Just tidying expat's suggestion. Also see here.
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INREC BUILD=(1,4,5,26,C'ABC',31) |
Including the columns just make it confusing when they are unnecessary (data field follows data field) and they are only useful on a BUILD when you want to leave a "gap".
No need to use OUTREC unless you need to...
I don't see how you got the same error when your specified 1:1,4, so perhaps you can paste the sysout for that, please? |

It probably wasn't the same error.
The second failure I would guess at being because the length of data from column 31 was included and with this being a VB file then not every record would have the required length of data.
As the OP has now gone quiet ............................ |
