Hi Papadi,

Since the job was abended in the middle of the process, SYSOUT not having any abend related information. As I said in the earlier post, i do not have any issues in running the job in test environment. So here is the SYSOUT which was captured from test environment.

Code:


WER276B  SYSDIAG= 395612, 1997621, 1997621, 3779925                           
WER164B  13,864K BYTES OF VIRTUAL STORAGE AVAILABLE, MAX REQUESTED,           
WER164B     44K BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 12,256K BYTES USED                   
WER146B  32K BYTES OF EMERGENCY SPACE ALLOCATED                               
WER110I  DDNAME : RECFM=FB   ; LRECL=   110; BLKSIZE= 27940                 
WER410B  11,768K BYTES OF VIRTUAL STORAGE AVAILABLE ABOVE THE 16MEG LINE,     
WER410B     0 BYTES RESERVE REQUESTED, 11,768K BYTES USED                     
WER036B  G=49302                                                             
WER177I  TURNAROUND SORT PERFORMED                                           
WER045C  END SORT PHASE                                                       
WER055I  INSERT        315, DELETE          0                                 
WER211B  SYNCSMF  CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000                                 
WER416B  TOTAL OF 1 EXCP'S ISSUED FOR SORTING                                 
WER246I  FILESIZE 34,650 BYTES                                               
WER054I  RCD IN          0, OUT        315                                 



Could any one help me or provide me the link for, allocating dynamic sortwork files in SYNCSORT.

Thanks, Kavi

Okay, DATA(31) means QSAM buffers are above the line so you are not out of sequential storage. However I am ammused that REGION=0M is actually allowed. Most possibly ACS routine must be controlling it?

What are the BLKSIZEs please? The BLKSIZE is available on the JESMSGS for each DDNAME so you can see what each opened file BLKSIZE was. One way of proving it is QSAM memory problem with S878 is to code BUNFO=1 or BUFNO=2 for all QSAM files and rerun.

Do you have any QSAM files concatenated together?

Do you open all SEQ files at once? If not can you determine from the DUMP which file you are at the opening point for? And doesn't the abend offset allow you to pinpoint the actual line of code in the program at failure?

And with this - what progress can we make? Posting the SYSOUT from a test-job, which is not the reason of your actual abend - is of no use. Think, what if instead of suggesting for S878, reason 28, posters starts telling you about S806!?

Hi Anuj,

Please find the details below, as I said i donot have any abend related informations in the sysout.

Block size are 27520,28350,28350,28350,27920 for the Input files
Block size are 27920 and 28350 for the output files

Yes three files are concatenated (BLKSIZE =28350)

Yes all SEQ files are opened at once, from the dump the abending statement is SORT.

Code:

SORT xxxx-FILE                                 
    ON ASCENDING  KEY xxxx-KEY                 
        INPUT  PROCEDURE xxxxx-xxxxx THRU
                         xxxxx-xxxxx
        GIVING OUT-FILE.                   


in INPUT PROCEDURE only all the files are opened at once. The following abend info also found in
DUMP
Code:

WER999A JOBNAME,PGM  ,        -  UNSUCCESSFUL SORT 878 S REASON=00000028


Thanks, Kavi

The test posted shows only 315 records - how many are sorted in the production run?

If the number is large, you could try specifying an estimated file size. . .

I suspect that you are running below the line with QSAM buffers but not sure why. Also I assume that the program is linked AMODE(31) RMODE(ANY).

One more suggestion, use these compile options and compile the program again and execute it and see what happens:
Code:
COMPILE PARMS ===> RENT,ADV,NODYNAM,NOSEQ,DATA(31)
LINK EDIT PARMS ===> AMODE(31),RMODE(24).
