All,

I have following control card in a sort


Code:



  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,                                   
  INCLUDE=(5,3,CH,EQ,C'000')                           
  OUTFIL FNAMES=CTL3IN02,                             
  INCLUDE=(5,3,CH,NE,C'000',AND,1,3,CH,NE,C'999'),     
  BUILD=(1:1,3914,3915:C'Y')                           
  OUTFIL FNAMES=TRL,SAVE     



I know it looks a bit funny the way I handled includes, leaving it out this job is failing with following error

Code:


ICE218A 3 2217 BYTE VARIABLE RECORD IS SHORTER THAN 3914 BYTE MINIMUM FOR CTL3IN02 FIELDS 




My input file is VB. I think this error is because I am asking sort to copy 3914 bytes irrespective of input record length. If input has a rec shorter than 3914 it fails.

Can some one help me soving this please.

Thanks,
Harsha Chinnam

hchinnam,

Use overlay instead of build to pad with space till 3914 for shorter records. I believe that you want to check 5,3, for 999 and not 1,3

OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,
INCLUDE=(5,3,CH,EQ,C'000')
OUTFIL FNAMES=CTL3IN02,
INCLUDE=(5,3,CH,NE,C'000',AND,1,3,CH,NE,C'999'),
OVERLAY=(3915:C'Y')
OUTFIL FNAMES=TRL,SAVE

Thanks Kolusu.

Actually before your post i did this

Code:


  INREC OVERLAY=(3915:C'Y') 
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT,                                   
  INCLUDE=(5,3,CH,EQ,C'000'),
  BUILD=(1,3914)                           
  OUTFIL FNAMES=CTL3IN02,                             
  INCLUDE=(5,3,CH,NE,C'000',AND,5,3,CH,NE,C'999')                   
  OUTFIL FNAMES=TRL,SAVE,
  BUILD=(1,3914)
