Hi all,

I was using JFY keyword of DFSORT to justify left one field in my file layout.

There was a syntax error while acknowledging JFY. I don't know why.

SYSIN :
OPTION COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(5,20,JFY=(SHIFT=LEFT))
*
WER268A OUTREC STATEMENT : SYNTAX ERROR
WER211B SYNCSMF CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000
WER449I SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE


Plz provide me a solution for this.

Just one note: the WER* messages indicates you're using SyncSort.

Hi acevedo,

The system messages do contain syncsort.

I am confused whether after using the DFSORT keyword JFY, is the system recognizing it? If not why.

How can i left justify my field?

Plz help me in this case.

deadlycoder,

You are using Syncsort and it does NOT support the features like JFY and parse and many other functions of DFSORT. you need to write a program to justify your field

deadlycoder,

Your control statements work fine with DFSORT. But the WER messages indicate you're using Syncsort, not DFSORT. DFSORT supports JFY. Syncsort doesn't.

If you or anyone else on this board would like some documents prepared by the DFSORT Team that describe what we see as the advantages of DFSORT over Syncsort, as well as considersations for migrating from Syncsort to DFSORT, send me an e-mail offline (yaeger@us.ibm.com). Please put "DFSORT" somewere in your Subject line to catch my attention.
