Hello!

I have problems with a little dfsort. (It was bigger from the beginning but I have cut it down in an attempt to track the error.) It gives this error message:
Code:
ICE027A 6 END OF          FIELD BEYOND MAXIMUM RECORD LENGTH


Code:
//SORTIN   DD *                                 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa                               
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb                               
cccccccccccccccc
dddddddddddddddd                               
//SYMNAMES DD *                                 
*Hello                                         
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                         
//SYSIN    DD *                                 
 INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,                     
               BEGIN=(1,8,CH,EQ,C'bbbbbbbb'),   
               RECORDS=3,                       
               PUSH=(50:SEQ=5))                 
 SORT FIELDS=COPY                               

I have found some strange things. If I comment out the "RECORDS=3," statement it will work (no error message) or if I remove the "*Hello" row it will also work!

Any one who knows what is wrong?

Thanks
Sven

If you're actually using SORTIN DD *, then I don't see any reason for that message. When I run the same thing with DFSORT here, I get a RC=0. So there's something else you're not telling us or are unaware of.

Please add the following to your job so I can see the diagnostic mesages:

//SORTDIAG DD DUMMY

Then rerun the job and post the complete JES log including the //SYSOUT messages.

I have now added //SORTDIAG DD DUMMY and rerun the job. Here is the log.

What you're seeing corresponds to the bug fixed by the APAR described at:
