I am trying to output multiple SORTOUT records from a single input record in a 
SORT step when a "LABEL1" line is processed.  This is the syntax I am using and 
the error message that I get:

 OPTION COPY                                                  
 OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT,                                       
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(9,6,CH,EQ,C'LABEL1'),                    
         BUILD=(1,4,C' SELECT *',/,                        
                                                   *          
                1.4,C' FROM DBXX.TABLE1 WHERE',/,          
                1,4,C' FIELD1 IN (''XXXXXXX')),  
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=NONE,                                    
         BUILD=(1,4,C' , ''',9,7,C''''))                      
WER813I  INSTALLATION OPTIONS IN MFX LOAD LIBRARY WILL BE USED
WER271A  OUTFIL STATEMENT  : NUMERIC FIELD ERROR              
WER578I  SORTL INSTRUCTION NOT USED; REASON CODE=FE           
WER211B  SYNCSMF  CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000                 

I can't seem to format this example precisely in plain text email, but the "*" 
syntax pointer is under the "/" entry on the first BUILD line.  It does not 
like the "/" entry for "new record", but I do not understand why that isn't 
allowed.  I have tried using both OUTFIL and OUTREC and neither one seems to 
allow the "/" entry.

SORTIN and SOUTOUT are both RECFM=VB,LRECL=8192,DSORG=PS.

Would someone please point out what I need to code to accomplish this task?
