Anuj,
Just thought of sharing some info. I tried executing exactly the same jcl and input records as yours, but failed with RC=16 showing the below error.
| Code: |
| WER250A INCLUDE/OMIT FIELD BEYOND RECORD |
and the same job went thru fine with RC=0 giving when I modified the card as
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY,VLSHRT
INCLUDE COND=(29,01,CH,EQ,C'A') |
VLSHRT specifies that records that are too short to contain all of the INCLUDE compare fields are not to be included in the output data set.
Though VLSHRT is a DFSORT option it works with Syncsort as well.
Alternatively, you can specify the VLTESTI parameter in SYNCSORT to handle short records in INCLUDE/OMIT as below.
| Code: |
| //STEP01 EXEC PGM=SORT,PARM='VLTESTI=1' |
The delivered default of 0 instructs SyncSort to terminate if a record does not completely contain all INCLUDE or OMIT fields. A WER250A critical error message is generated to indicate this condition.
When VLTESTI=1 is specified, a record that does not completely contain all INCLUDE/OMIT fields is treated as having failed the comparison. SyncSort will omit the record if INCLUDE is being used or include the record if OMIT has been specified.
When VLTESTI=2 is specified, SyncSort will treat comparisons to fields not completely contained within the record as false and decide a record’s status for inclusion or omission from fields that are available. If all fields are not present, the record will be processed as having failed the comparison. SyncSort will omit the record if INCLUDE is being used or include the record if OMIT has been specified.
Thanks,
Arun |
