Executing the Sysview for Db2 for z/OS (IDB2) Report Writer program (NSIGHTRW) and specifying multiple
Requests (EG: ARCIACS, ARCISTS, ARCISTSB) for DBGIN DD the job encounters the warning message:
DBG70013W RECORDS ENCOUNTERED OUT OF CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER
The DB2DDN Archive GDG inputs are specified in the order they were archived.
Also, the warning message does not occur when only one Request is specified.
Performing a sort (prior to the NSIGHTRW step) using the SMFSORT job found in hlq.SOURCE library will alleviate
the DBG70013W Out of Chronological Order condition. The sort process will take the multiple GDG files and sort them
into one GDG file using exits that perform a more granular sort using the STCK value in the data.
This will allow the NSIGHTRW job to run without impact with multiple requests.
