I have another block with SORT.
I need to append the message to my input record. The out file have 250 bytes length.
Now, I want add( I/p rec + message).

I have my SORT card as below.

SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,23,1Z,
C'- 2 OR MORE SCHD DRILL RECORDS FOR THE SAME CCT NO, CPY NO WERE',
C'RECEIVED WITH THE SAME DRILL DATE ONCE REC WAS ACCEPTED.')
END

SPOOL msg:

WER813I INSTALLATION OPTIONS IN MFX LOAD LIBRARY WILL BE USED
WER276B SYSDIAG= 64249, 5120048, 5120048, 15990575
WER164B 1,028K BYTES OF VIRTUAL STORAGE AVAILABLE, MAX REQUESTED
WER164B 0 BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 1,000K BYTES USED

WER267A SORT STATEMENT : STATEMENT NOT FOUND
WER211B SYNCSMF CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000
WER449I SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE

But the above one is syntax issue.
Please throw some ideas how we can add the multiple line messages to a record using SORT.

The first issue I see is that you posted in the DFSORT/ICETOOL forum and your messages are prefixed with WER, which means they come from SYNCSORT. There is a SYNCSORT forum you should have posted in.

The second issue I see is that you posted code without using the Code tag, so spacing is lost. We don't know if that comma at the end of your line is in column 68 or 72 -- and it could make a difference in this case.

The third issue I see is that you seem to be ignoring the error you are being given:
