[[e-mail] [hercules-390]]

good morning
Hi, i created a program in cobol with internal sort with input procedure and outro procedure, but when a decalre a jcl i dont know how must i declare the 'sortfile', i tried with sequecne file without file but alwaus have e aswer, problem with sort file allocation.

Post the JCL you are using and also the
exact error message in full.

Afonso contacted me off-list and I was
able to resolve the problem.

His JCL had X.PDS.MEMBER instead
of X.PDS(MEMBER)

You're much better off asking general z/OS questions on

I'd suggest you show us the bits of the COBOL program that define the input
and output files (is that DATA DIVISION?? I can't remember), then show us
the JCL you think you need to run the program. I'm sure someone will then
be able to tell you what needs changed/added.

Otherwise, your question is too vague. No-one knows what you've already
tried, and what hapenned.

The "SORTFILE" is completely up to your program, and there may not be
one depending on your output procedure. If you're talking about work
files, then the answer depends on the version of SORT you are using.

For the SORT that comes with MVT and MVS (e.g., the tk3 and tk4-
distributions, I use:

//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=2314,SPACE=(CYL,190),VOL=SER=SORT01
//SORTWK02 DD UNIT=2314,SPACE=(CYL,190),VOL=SER=SORT02
//SORTWK03 DD UNIT=2314,SPACE=(CYL,190),VOL=SER=SORT03
//SORTWK04 DD UNIT=2314,SPACE=(CYL,190),VOL=SER=SORT04
//SORTWK05 DD UNIT=2314,SPACE=(CYL,190),VOL=SER=SORT05
//SORTWK06 DD UNIT=2314,SPACE=(CYL,190),VOL=SER=SORT06

Depending on your work disks, a space of 199 should work also. I have
these disks marked private, and they are used for one sort at a time.

If you are using a newer SORT, say OS/390 or z/OS, your work files could
look like //SORTWKnn DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=nnnnn,VOL=SER=nnnnnn

Depending on your options, the newer sorts may allocate work space
dynamically.
