Hi,

we have an input file of length 80 bytes.
the output file should be only 40 bytes in length.
we tried using Syncsort but we got the following result.

SORTIN : RECFM=FB ; LRECL= 80; BLKSIZE= 27920
SORTOF1 : RECFM=FB ; LRECL= 40; BLKSIZE= 320
SORTOF1 HAS INCOMPATIBLE LRECL.

my input sort card is below.

Please provide me the JCL or sort card for my above requirement.

Thanks,
chinna.

I'm counting 41 bytes in your BUILD string.

A mild suggestion ...

why post a 9k image when 640 bytes of plain text would convey exactly the same info icon_question.gif icon_question.gif
