Kanachi4u,

The max size for sysin depends on the program you are using. for ex: if you are compiling a cobol program using IGYCRCTL then the max size is around a million lines.For an utility like sort it varies from 1200 to 1800.

Hope this helps...

cheers

Kolusu said "For an utility like sort it varies from 1200 to 1800".

For DFSORT, it's actually closer to 3000 lines. But practically speaking, the limit is not the number of lines, but the type of fields or conditions in those lines, e.g, I can use 2000 conditions of a certain type coded one per line (2000 lines) or 10 per line (200 lines).

FYI, I was able to use 10000+ lines in SYSIN of the following type, but this has no practical use since only the first line is used and the rest are "ignored" as duplicates:

Code:

  DEBUG BSAM
  DEBUG BSAM
  ...
