Even after hours of trying and trying, I cannot seem to fix this error. I looked up the error codes from the =SD and I cannot figure out how to fix the issue. The syntax seems to be correct. I just don't understand.

In a mainframe environment, programs can be executed in batch and online mode. Example of a batch system can be processing the bank transactions through a VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method) file and applying it to the corresponding accounts. Example of an online system can be a back office screen used by staffs in a bank to open an account. In batch mode, open error sysin programs are submitted to the operating system as a job through a JCL. Batch and Online processing differ in the aspect of input, output and program execution request. In batch processing, these aspects are fed into a JCL which is in turn received by the Operating System. Job Processing A job is a unit of work which can be made up of many job steps. Each job step is specified in a Job Control Language (JCL) through a set of Job Control Statements. The Operating System uses Job Entry System (JES) to receive jobs into the Operating System, to schedule them for processing and to control the output. Job processing goes through a series of steps as given below: Job Submission - Submitting the JCL to JES. Job Conversion - The JCL along with the PROC is converted into an interpreted text to be understood by JES and stored into a dataset, which we call as SPOOL. Job Queuing - JES decides the priority of the job based on CLASS and PRTY parameters in the JOB statement (explained in JCL - JOB Statement chapter). The JCL errors are checked and the job is scheduled into the job queue if there are no errors. Job Execution - When the job reaches its highest priority, it is ta
Join Vs Concatenation on VSAM datasets Support for NetApp SyncSort for z/OS, Visual SyncSort, SYNCINIT, SYNCLIST and SYNCTOOL Post a reply Previous topic • Next topic • 10 posts • Page 1 of 1 Join Vs Concatenation on VSAM datasets by Shakthi_Priya_R » Thu Jun 06, 2013 5:41 pm Hi, Can anybody please calrify me.How is that VSAM datasets are allowed sorting during JOINKEYS operation, but SORT FIELDS=COPY does not work for concatenation?(Though MERGE FIELDS option and MULTIIN facility allows the concatenation)? Hoping I made my doubt clear, thanks in advance.

They are unrelated.JOINKEYS provides the ability to sort data if needed. COPY does just that - it copies data. VSAM files do not concatenate as far as know. Suggest you explain what you have (with some sample input data) and what you want your process to do with this data (show the desired output when the sample data is processed. Also, mention the recfm and larecl(s).
