Are there any options in SYNCSORT to allow for the fact that some records may be shorter than the position of the compare field, as DFSORT has
OPTION VLSCMP VLSHRT |

Hi,
per me, this
| Code: |
| INCLUDE/OMIT FIELD BEYOND RECORD |
is the main error, are you sure the file used in JCL, which was abended, has the LRECL=2472 ? it's confusing..probablly i won't agree. it must be less than 142. |

Hello,
I believe this is going far away from the actual problem. . .
The most likely cause is the first short record in the vb file. |

| I think that the OP has worked it out now, but can not be asked to return to the forum. |

Unless we are sure about the LRECL..Including 4 for RDW would not make any difference in the output.. |

Unless i misunderstood..I doubt this would create any problem, if record is short it would not qualify for the criteria of OMIT COND & would not be selected for the output.. |

I believe not. . .
If the record is short, it will cause the "INCLUDE/OMIT FIELD BEYOND RECORD" error. The compare will fail as it is beyond the end of the record. Unless it is provided for. . . See the link above. |

Dick,
I used the below JCL:
| Code: |
//STEP120 EXEC PGM=SORT,
// REGION=1024K
//SORTIN DD DSN=HLQ.FIRST.FILE.VB,
// DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=(29,01,CH,EQ,C'A')
//* |
contents of HLQ.FIRST.FILE.VB are:
| Code: |
111 A$$$$345
222 AAAAA12324
444 FFFFF455
555 GGGGG1
888 CCCCC12 |
with the RDW statistics
| Code: |
16 |111 A$$$$345
18 |222 AAAAA12324
16 |444 FFFFF455
14 |555 GGGGG1
15 |888 CCCCC12 |
LRECL is 80.
JOB was ended with successful completion,RC=0 & there was no record in the output.
In the above JOB when control card was changed to:
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OMIT COND=(89,01,CH,EQ,C'A') |
it was abended with
| Code: |
| WER250A INCLUDE/OMIT FIELD BEYOND RECORD |
while same JOB give this output:
| Code: |
444 FFFFF455
555 GGGGG1
888 CCCCC12 |
when this
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OMIT COND=(9,01,CH,EQ,C'A') |
control card was used.
Please advise. |

Hi Anuj,
Your Syncsort environment has been set up to automatically handle short records.
Not every system is. . . |
