The correct DFSORT JCL would be: //STEP0001 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL //TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=* //DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=* //IN1 DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=SHR //IN2 DD DSN=FILE2,DISP=SHR //OUT DD DSN=FILE3,SPACE=(CYL,(10,1),RLSE), // DISP=(MOD,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=SYSDA //TOOLIN DD * COPY FROM(IN1) TO(OUT) USING(CTL1) COPY FROM(IN2) TO(OUT) //CTL1CNTL DD * INREC OVERLAY=(300:X) /* Note the use of MOD for // OUT. Note also that this is not a "merge" - it is a "copy". "Merge" implies that the input files are already in sorted order and the output file should be in sorted order.
