Issue/Introduction

Problem:

When trying to run a ROLLBACK with ROLLBACK3490, it is possible to get an error message from the sort utility such as:

CASD203E WRONG LENGTH RECORD 00000

Environment:

CA-IDMS and release, any operating system.

Cause:

For some SORT packages, the SORT FIELDS= parameter alone is not sufficient.

Resolution:

The CA IDMS Utilities manual, in the section on ROLLBACK, indicates that when using the ROLLBACK3490 option, the archive journal must first be sorted with the following input parameter:

 SORT FIELDS=(13,16,BI,D) 

This may not be specific enough. For some sort utilities, it may be necessary to add this:

 SORT FIELDS=(13,16,BI,D) 
 RECORD TYPE=F,LENGTH=32000    
 INPFIL BLKSIZE=32000    
 OUTFIL BLKSIZE=32000

In the above example, 32000 is the blocksize of the archive journal file.

Additional Information:

For more information, see the manual CA IDMS Utilities Guide chapter 5 "Utility Statements", "ROLLBACK", "Usage" and scroll to the section with the heading "Disk journal file".
