I have tried it without the INREC part and it still gives me grief. 1ICE143I 0 BLOCKSET COPY TECHNIQUE SELECTED ICE000I 1 - CONTROL STATEMENTS FOR 5740-SM1, DFSORT REL 14.0 - 12:40 ON THU MAY 0 SORT FIELDS=COPY INCLUDE COND=(21,3,CH,EQ,C'JOB',AND, 5,4,CH,EQ,C' ') INREC BUILD=(1,1,C'D',2,2,C'04',27,6) $ ICE104A 0 INVALID INREC OR OUTREC STATEMENT OPERAND RECORD TYPE=F I have built INREC with using only data from the input record, but have not inserted anything by spaces in the output before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
