While running the SORT jcl, I am getting an error i.e. REPORT HAS INCOMPATIBLE LRECL.

My JCL looks like below.

Code:

//SORT01 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//REPORT DD DSN=USERID.REPORT,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=SCRPK,
// SPACE=(TRK,20,20),RLSE),
// DCB=( RECFM=FBA,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80)
//SORTIN DD *
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,80,CH,A)
OUTFIL FNAMES=REPORT,LINES=30,
HEADER2=(2:'BOOKSTORE LIST',
50:'CURRENT DATE',DATE,
60:'PAGE',PAGE,
3/,2:'BOOK NAME',
55:'AUTHOR',
65:'PRICE',

nancy,

Just remove the following line and run your Job.
Code:

DCB=( RECFM=FBA,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80)


The reason for the eror is that you are using a report features which will increment the lrecl by 1 i.e the the output file lrecl will become 81. The extra 1 byte is to accomodate the carriage control character. You really don't have to code the DCB parameter for sort as sort calculates them automatically.You also have some overlapping fields.

You can get rid of the carriage control character by specifying the following parm
Code:

 OUTFIL FNAMES=REPORT,REMOVECC,LINES=30,
 HEADER2=...



Hope this helps...

cheers

Kolusu,

I have tried your suggestion but removing the DCB parameter was of no help. I have got the solution now.

My HEADER2 code should have the PAGE colums start from 70 instead of 60 because DATE was not having enough space in case if we start PAGE from 60.

My code is working fine after making the following change.

50:'CURRENT DATE',DATE,
70:'PAGE',PAGE,

Thanks for your help.
Nancy
