HI all,

Please anyone help me in getting filesize in syncsort ?

Thanks !

What exactly do you mean?

Look up HISTOGRAM in the documentation. Does that help?

HI BillyBoyo,

I want to get the size of the sequencial file in bytes?

Shall we calculate by multiply no. of the records with LRECL?

Did you look at Syncsort's HISTOGRAM?

If VB, records * lrecl won't work. If FB, will. What about the output from your sort step? ISPF? If you know the number of tracks, and the track-size, you'll get pretty close. SUM on the record-length in the RDW. Lots of ways.

HI Billy,

My output file is VB file.....

Super. Have you tried any of my suggestions?

Bill, It looks like your posts are not readable at TS's end.

My output file is VB file.....

is irrelevant. How about your input file's RECFM?

Please refer to the WER246I message. This message posts the number of bytes of input data sorted or copied. This number reflects input data set, E15, JOIN, INLCUDE/OMIT, and INREC processing. Please refer to the Messages Chapter in the Syncsort MFX for z/OS Programmer's Guide for additional considerations regarding the WER246I message.

Hi all,
