There are couple of issues with your job. 1. COUNT-n field is limited to 15 digits and you are creating a 17 byte field which would have 2 spaces to the left of the count making the symbol definition invalid 2. You created a display-able 17 byte count which is Zoned Decimal count field , but you comparing that symbol using BINARY . The comparison will be false 3. You do realize that coding RC16=ABE will make the job abend with U0206 abend if the counts do not match? So change STEP01 SYSIN to use an EDIT mask insted of M11 mask. See below TRAILER1=('DATA_COUNT,+',COUNT-1=(EDIT=(TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT))) Change STEP02 sysin to have ZD instead of BI INCLUDE COND=(01,17,ZD,EQ,DATA_COUNT) Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
