 Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2007 11:41 pm Post subject: Problem with gdg |
 |
|
Hi,
I am trying to run this using ice tool
| Code: |
//SORTIN1 DD DSN=TPLAN01.FEDS.ACCOUNT.DAILY(+1),DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=TPLAN01.FEDS.ACCOUNT.BACKUP(+0),DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT1 DD DSN=TPLAN01.FEDS.ACCOUNT.BACKUP(+1),
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(1990,(20,20),RLSE),AVGREC=K,
// LRECL=900,
// DATACLAS=DATAF
//TOOLIN DD *
COPY FROM(SORTIN1) TO(SORTOU1)
*/ |
i intensionally gave the DD name wrongly so that the job will be abended and expecting the new version for the ACCOUNT.BACKUP will not be created but new GDG is getting created
Required info on this what exactly will happen when a gdg is abended.
Regards,
Ramesh |

What exactly are the completion codes for this step?
Please use BBCode to enclose your code lines. It makes for much easier reading; the spaces are preserved.

Actually job is getting abended but still new GDG version getting created which is empty
Is there any option which enable us not to create new GDG version when job get abended (When we are using ICETOOL).Please find the Toolin messages below
| Code: |
SYT000I SYNCTOOL RELEASE 1.5.1 - COPYRIGHT 2004 SYNCSORT INC.
SYT001I INITIAL PROCESSING MODE IS "STOP"
SYT002I "TOOLIN" INTERFACE BEING USED
COPY FROM(SORTIN) TO(ORTOUT)
SYT025E NO DD STATEMENT FOUND WITH "TO" DDNAME: ORTOUT
SYT030I OPERATION COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE 12
SYT015I PROCESSING MODE CHANGED FROM "STOP" TO "SCAN" DUE TO OPERATION FAILURE
*/
SYT004I SYNCTOOL PROCESSING COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE 12

Ramesh, I appreciate you attempting to use the BBCode. What I had in mind what using the blocks.

unfortunately, a return code of 12 is not an abend. I do not know syncsort, so I don't know how to tell syncsort to abend. But a possible solution would be to have a STEP following the sort step that would un-catalogue and delete the (+1) in the event of a non-zero return code.
there are others on this board with greater experience than mine in this area; i am sure that they will respond with a less primitive solution.

jajularamesh,
your output DD name is wrong. In your TOOLIN statement you have the output name as ORTOUT instead of SORTOUT1.
As DBZ mentioned return code of 12 is not an abend and hence the new version is created .
Btw why do you need ICETOOL for a such simple copy step? A simple sort step would have solved your porblem. You don't have to code the LRECL and other DCB parameters for a sort step. Sort automatically calucaltes them from the input file.
| Code: |
//STEP0100 DD PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=TPLAN01.FEDS.ACCOUNT.DAILY(+1),
// DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=TPLAN01.FEDS.ACCOUNT.BACKUP(+0),
// DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=TPLAN01.FEDS.ACCOUNT.BACKUP(+1),
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(1990,(20,20),RLSE),
// DATACLAS=DATAF
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY

Kolusu actually my requirement is not a simple sort.so i am using ICETOOL.
while i was testing i found that a new GDG version getting created but i was expecting that a new version will be created if the step is succesful
Kolusu can you tell me how reliable ICETOOL is ?

Ramesh |

jajularamesh,
lemme clarify something. You are NOT running ICETOOL. ICETOOL is from DFSORT and your shop has Syncsort which has Synctool. Read this link for a better understanding of icetool vs synctool
http://www.mvsforums.com/helpboards/viewtopic.php?t=2504&highlight=alias+synctool
ICETOOL is a pretty reliable, fully documented, fully supported free utility shipped with IBM's DFSORT. Some of the features of ICETOOL are not supported by synctool.
Keeping the complexity of the problem aside , running multiple passes of data in
ICETOOL/SYNCTOOL step is same as running multiple steps using sort unless you are using icetool's specific features like splice,select...

your JCL disp parameters are designed to differentiate between an abend vs successful run. Just because a program issues RC > 0 does not mean that it has to abend. in this case Synctool issued a RC of 12 and does not abend. So as far JCL disp parameters are concerned the job completed successfully,hence the gdg is created.
Btw post your actual requirement and let us see if you really need an Icetool step

er....sorry for the late entry.
Isn't this discussion a digression from OP's statement that | Quote: | | found that a new GDG version getting created but i was expecting that a new version will be created if the step is succesful |
?
The allocation of the dataset has not got anything to do with the program that is being executed in that step. The allocation/delete is done by MVS for any job step depending on the DISP parameter. And, yes, it is true that, RC=12 is not an abend from MVS' point of view.
