The main difference is that I am using SYNCSORT in place of ICETOOL.
I am getting the following error.

Samuel,
It would be helpful if you have posted the step which caused the error. Also please post the entire sysout messages. Also make sure that your control cards start from pos 2.

samuel,
*sigh* I asked you to post the SYSOUT messages, you posted JES messages. Any way please look at the JCL posted in the link and compare it with the one you posted. Hint look at the EXEC PGM statement and correct the mistake.
We don't need to code EXEC PGM at our shop because an EXEC SORT defaults to the system proclib.

Samuel,
*sigh* I am not sure as to how you drew conclusion that that pgm=synctool is same as running pgm=sort.
If you are running PGM=SORT then you are fine running a System proc for sort. However you are running the pgm SYNCTOOL and I am sure that your shop does not have a default system proc for it as synctool itself is an unsupported/undocumented utility from syncsort.

For the record, DFSORT's ICETOOL is fully documented and fully supported (has been since 1991). Syncsort's SYNCTOOL only has a subset of the functions available with DFSORT's ICETOOL.
If anyone would like me to send them some documents prepared by the DFSORT Team that discuss what we see as the advantages of DFSORT, as well as considerations for migrating from Syncsort to DFSORT, send me an e-mail offline (yaeger@us.ibm.com). Please put "DFSORT" somewhere in your Subject line to catch my attention. _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)

Well, SyncSort has not responded to my email.
Therefore I fell back on the master manual. Trail and Error.
Here is the code that satisfied me. I altered the following code :
changed COPY FROM(FB) to COPY FROM(IN)
deleted DD DSN=&C,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
added/altered C'DSN=',17,35,C',',/,
C'//',12X,C'LABEL=(1,SL)',
to INDD OUTREC
Any other changes are related to the differences in the utilities.
Your argument for DFSORT over SYNCSORT is undeniable, and it remains unchallanged. I honestly do not know why the state of Alabama has chosen SYNCSORT. All I have been told is that SyncSort is "better"...
How do they arrive at that conclusion(Rhetorical) ?

Samuel,
Well, if you want the documents I mentioned as ammunition for refuting that unsubstantiated claim, drop me an e-mail and I'll send them to you. _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)

A SyncSort represenative contaced me today. They told me that they do not currently have documentation for SyncTool. They claim that SyncSort can be coded to perform any function that one can render from SyncTool/IceTool.
I have submitted the JCL to them, and I have requested that they either
A) Provide some sort of SyncSort alternative
or
B) Provide some documentation for SyncTool
