What is SORT(INSYNC)? I've never heard of that.

Frank,

Insync is another utility/language from macro4 similar to easytrieve which is used for data manipulations and reporting. I guess OP got an error when Insync tried to invoke the local sort product.

So, we need to see the code for invoking the sort, the jcl used to run the program and the error messages that were written out.

Thanks, Kolusu.

Hmmm ... I don't know what INSYNC uses for the sort message ddname - they can pass whatever name they like with the MSGDDN=ddname parameter or even suppress the messages completely.

However, if you're using DFSORT, you should be able to force out the DFSORT messages to SHOWMSGS by adding these statements to the job:

Code:

//SORTDIAG DD DUMMY
//SHOWMSGS DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSPARM DD *
   OPTION MSGDDN=SHOWMSGS
/*

Look at the messages in sysout . If the messages start with ICExxxa then you are running DFSORT and if the error messages start with WERxxxa then you are running SYNCSORT
