Hi,
I am runnnig a SORT step to replace the junk data with spaces(x'40').I am getting the S0c4 abend if I use a SORT card.The SORT statemnt is like below.

Code:

SORT FIELDS=(3,7,A,20,19,A),FORMAT=BI             
OMIT COND=((8,1,CH,EQ,C'B'),AND,(51,1,CH,EQ,C'U'))
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(10,10,CH,EQ,C'xxxxxxxxxx'),   
              OVERLAY=(768:13X'40'))             



The input file is a VB record.The abend description is below.
Code:

+WER999A CxxxxxT,PS010   ,        -  UNSUCCESSFUL SORT 3AB W

When I use the SORT FIELDS = COPY and the rest of the statements,it is runnnig fine.

Can anybody give me the clue for the abend.

Thank you

bprasanna,

If the input file is VB , why are you sorting from pos 3 for 7 bytes? shouldn't you be sorting from pos 7 for 7 bytes? (the first 4 bytes is the RDW)

Kolusu,
Thanks for the reply.The file attribultes are like below.
Code:

General Data                           Current Allocation                   
 Management class . . : xxxxxx         Allocated cylinders : 22             
 Storage class  . . . : xxxxxx          Allocated extents . : 3             
  Volume serial . . . : SYSDA                                             
  Device type . . . . : 3390                                                 
 Data class . . . . . : DCMVS          Current Utilization                   
  Organization  . . . : PS              Used cylinders  . . : 22             
  Record format . . . : VB              Used extents  . . . : 3             
  Record length . . . : 0                                                   
  Block size  . . . . : 27998                                               
  1st extent cylinders: 15                                                   
  Secondary cylinders : 5                                                   
  Data set name type  :                 SMS Compressible  :   NO             
                                                                             
  Creation date . . . : 2007/06/15      Referenced date . . : 2007/06/18     
  Expiration date . . : ***None***                                           


The
Code:

SORT FIELDS=(3,7,A,20,19,A),FORMAT=BI             
OMIT COND=((8,1,CH,EQ,C'B'),AND,(51,1,CH,EQ,C'U'))

is alredy exists in producton and it is runnnig fine for quiet few years.Not sure why it is not giving any problem for the RDW.

I just added the INREC to replace the junk data with spaces.As per your sugeestion,I changed the value to '7',but still it is givnig S0C4.

Thank you
Bprasanna

bprasanna,

I remember that INREC IFTHEN had a problem and would lead to S0c4 error. I think you need a patch to correct that. Can you just remove the INREC IFTHEN statement and just preform the sort? I bet it will work fine.

Yes Kolusu,it is runnnig fine if I remove the INREC with IFTHEN.Another intersting thing is ,it is producing all the records in the o/p as expected,but the job is getting abend with S0C4.

Once again thank you!

bprasanna,

In this case, the Abend0C4 is a secondary abend. The primary issue is the Abend3AB W. Based on the information you were able to provide, there was a fix included in SyncSort for z/Os 1.2.2.0 which addresses this issue. Please contact SyncSort Product Services at 201-930-8260 or zos_tech@syncsort.com for EW6340.

Best Regards,

vak255,

If you are running SyncSort for z/OS, and a dump was produced when you originally got the Abend 0C4, feel free to send it to me offline at alissa.margulies@syncsort.com and I would be happy to review it for you.
