CASD203E WRONG LENGTH RECORD

Products

• Sort VSE

Issue/Introduction

 

We recently installed zVSE 6.1 and Sort on our test environment. During our testing phase we encountered this problem with variable length record.

 

// EXEC SORT,SIZE=2M 

MERGE FIELDS=COPY,ORDER=1 

RECORD TYPE=V,LENGTH=182 

INPFIL BLKSIZE=1618 

OUTFIL BLKSIZE=1618 

OPTION LABEL=(S,S) 

END 

/*  

Environment

Release:
Component: CM-M1

Resolution

The lengths specified for variable-length records must include the 

4-byte count field.

 

In this case  LENGTH=186
