Jack, It is quite difficult to debug the issue without knowing which step is causing the error. You have 3 different steps and all of them are using the INCLUDE cond. But if I had to take an educated guess it is because the first 2 steps are summarizing, and you will not have the MGMT class when doing that as you are ONLY sorting on the HLQ. Technically you don't need SORT002 step as you can do it in SORT001 step itself. So, try this JCL (combined 001 and 002 steps into a single one) //SORT001 EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SYMNOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&IHLQ..RMM.TAPE.MASTER.LIST //HLQ#BRS DD DSN=&OHLQ..RMM.TAPE.SPACE.BRS.BY.HLQ.TXT, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG),SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE), // RECFM=FB,LRECL=30 //HLQ#LX DD DSN=&OHLQ..RMM.TAPE.SPACE.LX.BY.HLQ.TXT, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG),SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE), // RECFM=FB,LRECL=30 //SYMNAMES DD * INP-DSNAME,02,44,CH INP-CRDATE,47,10,CH INP-LRDATE,58,10,CH INP-XPDATE,69,10,CH INP-FLSIZE,80,10,UFF INP-K#CHAR,90,01,CH INP-MGMTCL,92,30,CH SKIP,1 BRS-HLQ,*,08,CH SKIP,1 BRS-BYT,*,16,PD //SYSIN DD *,SYMBOLS=EXECSYS INREC PARSE=(%01=(ABSPOS=2,ENDBEFR=C'.',FIXLEN=8)), OVERLAY=(BRS-HLQ:%01, BRS-BYT:INP-FLSIZE,MUL,+4,PD,LENGTH=16) SORT FIELDS=(BRS-HLQ,A, INP-MGMTCL,A) OUTFIL FNAMES=HLQ#BRS, INCLUDE=(INP-K#CHAR,EQ,C'K',AND, INP-MGMTCL,EQ,C'&MGMT'), REMOVECC, HEADER1=(01:' HLQ BRS TOTAL KB',/, 01:' --------- -------------------'), BUILD=(X, BRS-HLQ, X, BRS-BYT,EDIT=(I.III.III.III.III.IIT)) OUTFIL FNAMES=HLQ#LX, INCLUDE=(INP-K#CHAR,EQ,C'K',AND, INP-MGMTCL,NE,C'&MGMT'), REMOVECC, HEADER1=(01:' HLQ NON BRS TOTAL KB',/, 01:' --------- -------------------'), BUILD=(X, BRS-HLQ, X, BRS-BYT,EDIT=(I.III.III.III.III.IIT)) /* Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
