sort:count

Postby pearl » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:03 pm

what is wrong with this code? It goes in an infinite loop..
Select all
               
 000100 //xxxxxx   JOB (1234),CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),               
 000200 //            NOTIFY=&SYSUID,PRTY=15                                   
 000300 //STEP1    EXEC PGM=SORT                                               
 000400 //SORTIN   DD DSN=xxxxx.xxxx.xxxxx(IP1),DISP=SHR                     
 000500 //SORTOUT  DD DSN=xxxxxx.xxxx.xxxxxx(OP1),                             
 000600 //            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),                                 
 000700 //            SPACE=(TRK,(1,2),RLSE),                                   
 000800 //            DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=800)                       
 001000 //SYSIN    DD *                                                         
 001100    SORT FIELDS=COPY,                                                   
 001110    OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,                                           
 001120           TRAILER1=('NO OF RECORDS:',COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=7))             
 001200 /*                                                                     
 001300 //SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*

instead of running using two dat sets try with
Select all
//SORTIN DD *
some data
...
more data
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*

the chances of getting help on such a problem are pretty slim
better ask Your support

the best reply You might get on a forum is the confirmation that
Select all
 ****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
 000001 //ENRICO1  JOB NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
 000002 //             MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=H
 000003 //*
 000004 //ICE     EXEC PGM=SORT
 000005 //SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*
 000006 //SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*
 000007 //SORTIN    DD *
 000008 SOME DATA
 000009 ...
 000010 MORE DATA
 000011 //SORTOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
 000012 //SYSIN     DD *
 000013   SORT FIELDS=COPY
 000014   OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
 000015          TRAILER1=('NO OF RECORDS:',COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=7))
 ****** **************************** Bottom of Data ****************************

runs correctly and returns
Select all
********************************* TOP OF DATA **********************************
NO OF RECORDS:0000003
******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA ********************************


looking over again at Your control cards You should have received some kind of syntax error
because the comma at the end of the SORT statement implies a continuation when none is needed
just get rid of it ( the comma ) and see what happens

the forum contains zillions of <sort> examples,
You should have spotted the error Yourself :mrgreen:

I think it wildly unlikely you get a loop in SORT. Show the sysout from the step, please.

Or, claiming an "infinite loop" for something with syntax errors, are you Trolling?

As Mr. Sorrichetti and Billyboyo say, it is very unlikely that the sort product will loop. However, you better look at your SORTOUT DD statement. There is a serious error there, though I will leave it to you to deduce the error.

Plus, if you just want a count of the records, have a look at ICETOOL's COUNT operator.
