gil, SS13CEEM I believe is a Syncsort module, not a DFSORT module which is why DFSORT works. Syncsort uses that naming convention for their modules. In your case it would be Syncsort 1.3 or 3.1 as I think they have some reverse thing going. On 2/25/2013 6:46 PM, Paul Gilmartin wrote: SYNC

If it were me, I'd use the IEFU8n exits to copy the records I'm interested in into AMODE64 common storage. Then do an XMPOST to cause a separate STC to process them. Of course, this is much more complicated and requires at least APF authorization. --

If you are going to read any VSAM SMF file, active or inactive, you don't have to read the full file - you can (MXG DOES) stop when you encounter a block that starts with 'SMFEOFM', as that is the logical end of file marker. All subsequent blocks in that VSAM file are also 'SMFEOFM' populated. Bar
