I'm receiving the following WER268A error when running Syncsort with E15 and E35. Any thoughts?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

If you only specify one of the Enn=, does the syntax error still happen?

I won't be able to access my Syncsort material for a couple of days . . .

Hello Jeff.

You appear to be missing subparameters on the MODS statement. Please see the statement below:

In this example, MODLIB identifies the DD statement name that specifies the library in which the exit routine resides. N indicates that link-editing is not required. If the exit routine is placed in the input job stream, specify SYSIN.

You can refer to the MODS control statement in Chapter 2 of the SyncSort for z/OS Programmer's Guide for complete details regarding these parameters.

Regards,
