Hi Team,

I want to extract the specific fields from the Input file like the "volume name and the use-attribute value" for each tape volume.

Sample of the input:
VOLUME-ENTRY----VAA0000
DATA-VOLUME
LIBRARY-----------PRDVTS RECORDING--------36TRACK ERROR-STATUS---
MEDIA-TYPE--------MEDIA2 USE-ATTRIBUTE----SCRATCH

The input file is variable length record.

Input:
Organization . . . : PS
Record format . . . : VBA
Record length . . . : 133
Block size . . . . : 27998

Output:

Organization . . . : PS
Record format . . . : VBA
Record length . . . : 133
Block size . . . . : 27998


Code:

 SORT FIELDS=COPY                             
 INCLUDE COND=(6,12,CH,EQ,C'VOLUME-ENTRY',OR, 
 71,13,CH,EQ,C'USE-ATTRIBUTE')                 
 OUTREC FIELDS=(1,4,5:22,7,13:88,7) 

During the execution of sort program I am getting below error:


WER813I  INSTALLATION OPTIONS IN MFX LOAD LIBRARY WILL BE USED               
WER276B  SYSDIAG= 101654, 485967, 485967, 546260

Please help me fix this issue.

Take notice of this line:
Code:
WER237I  OUTREC RECORD LENGTH =    19

You can put a blank char in column 133 to fill up the LRECL.

Btw, there is also a SYNCSORT forum for such questions right below this one for DFSORT. icon_exclaim.gif

Hi Joerg,

I have created the input and output files without mentioning the DCB parameters and it picked the below attributes.

Input:
Organization . . . : PS
Record format . . . : VBA
Record length . . . : 125
Block size . . . . : 27998

output:
Organization . . . : PS
Record format . . . : VBA
Record length . . . : 125
Block size . . . . : 27998

but even after adding the blank character at 125th column I am getting same error. I am really not sure what I am missing. I am trying to extract the volume name and status of the volumes from listcat.
LISTCAT -
VOLUMEENTRIES(V*) -
LIBRARY(library) -
ALL

Code:

OUTREC FIELDS=(1,4,5:22,7,13:88,7,125:X)

Print all record sizes to find out which one is wrong:
Code:
 OUTREC BUILD=(1,4,1,2,FI,EDIT=(TTTTT),125:X)

Hi Rohit,

by adding PARM='VLTESTI=1' I am able to retrieve the status of the volume but the volume names are missing in the output.

It MUST be so trivial:

0) start testing on 10-50 input records, not on 50000-500000000 of them (add STOPAFT=50)

1) verify only your INCLUDE statement: delete OUTREC, and check if all required records are selected?

2) when (1) is done, add also OUTREC, and verify if correct parts of selected records are printed/saved?

Looks like it is the first program code in your life, isn’t it?

Try also with PARM='VLTESTI=2' once more.

Hi Joerg,

I tried with PARM='VLTESTI=2' for just 50 records. The sort competed successfully but the volume names are missing in the output.

As sergeyken mentioned I have removed the outrec and just tried with the include statement but still the volume name are missing from output.

with any single include condition it working fine but with multiple condition I am not getting the expected results.

Code:


SORT FIELDS=COPY,STOPAFT=50               
INCLUDE COND=(6,12,CH,EQ,C'VOLUME-ENTRY')

output:
0VOLUME-ENTRY----VAA0000
0VOLUME-ENTRY----VAA0001
0VOLUME-ENTRY----VAA0002
0VOLUME-ENTRY----VAA0003
0VOLUME-ENTRY----VAA0004


SORT FIELDS=COPY,STOPAFT=50                 
INCLUDE COND=(6,13,CH,EQ,C'VOLUME-ENTRY',OR,
71,13,CH,EQ,C'USE-ATTRIBUTE')               

output:

And last version to try (this one works with PARM='VLTESTI=2'):
Code:
OPTION COPY                                               
INCLUDE COND=(6,12,CH,EQ,C'VOLUME-ENTRY',OR,               
              71,13,CH,EQ,C'USE-ATTRIBUTE')               
OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,BUILD=(1,4,5:22,7,13:88,7,125:X))
END

Pavan, Going forward I would suggest you to do some research on this forum or internet , you will find so many post similar to this problem. Good Luck!
I just searched "WER244A" in Google and got so many links... .e.g.
ibmmainframes.com/about49970.html
ibmmainframes.com/about48468.html
and many more..

Hi Joerg,

Thank you very much. It worked. I just added one more statement to get everything in one column.

@Rohit, Sure but I did some research before posting here and I hope its not sufficient. Thank you for your words.

[/code]
OPTION COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,4,5,15,JFY=(SHIFT=LEFT))
