 Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2003 1:59 am Post subject: Problem - varying results with first run vs rerun of job |
 |
|
This is a problem which has been baffling me for a while now (not that it takes much to do so in the mainframe world!) 
There's a job that creates a back-up of input file, sorts the input file, processes (thru COBOL/IMS program) the sorted input file and creates output file, and finally deletes the original input file. However, every once in a while in production, it creates an incomplete output file i.e. it does not process all the input records, but ends without any abend/error. When the job is run again using the back-up of the input file, all input records are processed. It's the same input records and the same job, so why do I get varying results?
Would appreciate it if anyone could through some light on this.
Cheers

maverick,
what is the return code of the job when it process only partial records?? There are situations when the file runs out of space allocation , the system issues a return code of 12 but does not abend. In this case the job will only process partial records.
Hope this helps...
cheers

kolusu,
All steps are performed and RC=0 all through. It's only after checking the output file that we realise that processing was incomplete.
cheers
