I have a VB file of length 1064 bytes.I am trying to include records from the file which starts from position 3 rd and I am failing to create my output dataset , basically I want to write the data from 3 rd pos and for a length of 10 bytes.I am getting error message: WER235A.
Code:
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(7,10,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=NONE
OUTREC FIELDS=(5:7,10)
/*
WER108I SORTIN : RECFM=VB ; LRECL= 1064; BLKSIZE= 23476
WER235A OUTREC RDW NOT INCLUDED
OR
Code:
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(3,10,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=NONE
OUTREC FIELDS=(5:3,10)
/*
WER108I SORTIN : RECFM=VB ; LRECL= 1064; BLKSIZE= 23476
WER235A OUTREC RDW NOT INCLUDED

yadav2005:
If you want the output to be variable length, you must also specify the RDW in your OUTREC statement. From what you describe it sounds like you want fixed-length output; if so, you must use something like the CONVERT subparameter, as in the following example:
Code:
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(7,10,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=NONE
OUTREC FIELDS=(7,10),CONVERT
Please also note that your SORT control statement must allow for the 4-byte RDW when processing variable-length data (in other words, the first data position is position 5).
Please let me know if I may be of further assistance. _________________ Brian Wood
