FILEAID TO SYNCSORT CONVERSION

[Adbhut]

Hi all,

I have fileaid step which i want to convert to syncsort step (pgm=sort)

input/output file are in VB format
UNIT=(DASTG,4),SPACE=(27998,(12000,1500),RLSE),
DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=550,BLKSIZE=27998)

The sort card for fileaid is
$$DD01 COPY RDW=2,IF=(2,EQ,C'NOUSER5'),
ORIF=(2,EQ,C'TVASQU2 '),
ORIF=(2,EQ,C'ZZZZZZZ')

The sort card which I framed for pgm=sort is
OPTION COPY VTOF,
INCLUDE COND=((2,7,CH,EQ,C'NOUSER5'),
|,(2,8,CH,EQ,C'TVASQU2 '),
|,(2,7,CH,EQ,C'ZZZZZZZ'))
OUTFIL FNAMES=DD01O
error : The outfile for the fileaid step is non empty where as pgm=sort have empty output file

Please help me figure out the error.
Thanks for you help

I have a suggestion...

Try using the following as a COND...

INCLUDE COND=(6,7,CH,EQ,C'NOUSER5',OR,6,8,CH,EQ,C'TVASQU2 ',OR,6,7,CH,EQ,C'ZZZZZZZ')

Not sure what the OPTION COPY VTOF is doing, but a VB File has 4 characters at the beginning which store the record length, so column 2 is actually column 6 when SORT Reads the records.

And where is the COBOL in this - you DID post to a COBOL forum.

OPTION COPY VTOF says to COPY from Variable TO Fixed lengh records.
