When I tried a copy with IEBGENER, I got the following spool message.
Why is SYNCSORT being used for copy?
Code:
DATA SET UTILITY - GENERATE                                                     
 WER161B  ALTERNATE PARM USED

Mukunda,

In a LOT of shops, IEBGENER defaults to using the SORT product unless the control statements override the use of the SORT product. For example invoking IEBGENER for a straight copy(sysin dd dummy) would default to using the SORT product to do the copy instead.

try giving sysin cards for IEBGENER

Code:

 GENERATE MAXFLDS=1
 RECORD FIELD=(132,2,,1)


In this case the program IEBGENER will be used.

Hope this helps...

cheers

kolusu

IEBGENER does not call DFSORT or Syncsort. For DFSORT, you can use ICEGENER as a "replacement" for IEBGENER. This can be set up automatically at your site so that when you use PGM=IEBGENER, you get DFSORT's ICEGENER. ICEGENER uses DFSORT's copy function if possible. If ICEGENER can't use DFSORT's copy, it transfers control to IEBGENER.

For more information on DFSORT's ICEGENER, see:

Somebody else will have to tell you about Syncsort.
