I have two VB files.
File1 is 406 bytes long, and the key is in position 401 to 406.
File2 is 565 bytes long, and the key is in position 87 to 92.
I would like the result file to have all the 406 bytes from file1 plus 8 bytes from file2 starts from column 42.
An OPEN macro instruction was issued for a data set for which the DCB or DCBE specified a block size and key length whose sum is greater than the maximum allowed for the allocated device. For information about the maximum block size and key length, see z/OS DFSMS Using Data Sets.
Now look at the Blocksize parameter coded in JCL. The output is not a Tape dataset you cannot have a Blocksize greater than 32760.
And Just for the record, you really don't the DCB coded in the JCL for DFSORT jobs. It can calculate on it's own. So simply remove the entire DCB line and re-run your job and it should run fine. _________________ Kolusu - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)
