Hi, As far as I know, Syncsort SMF does not have an indicator for tape sort.
But, it does have a section for each SORTWORK allocated, that includes a device type, unit address and volser. That may help, but you may need to write your own program.. I would use SMF 14/15; There are many SAS and Rexx examples laying around. And the CBT can also help in decoding those records.. Of course, MXG can make things a lot simpler.

That's true - but they're different. Not knowing them well enough I can't say but there might be an indicator that says "tape sort work" in them. By default they're SMF 208 (and most customers don't change them). I'm sure MXG has them "taped". :-) Cheers, Martin Martin Packer, zChampion, Principal Systems Investigator, Worldwide Banking Center of Excellence, IBM +44-7802-245-584 email: [email protected] Twitter / Facebook IDs: MartinPacker Blog: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/MartinPacker From: "Vernooij, CP - SPLXM" <[email protected]> To: [email protected], Date: 09/03/2013 09:49 AM Subject: Re: Syncsort v1.4 doesn't support Tape sorting - Need help !

Doesn't SMF 14 / 15 help you here? Probably 15 as it's SORTWK etc. The problem will be identifying the actual sort work DD statement names. Maybe 30 can also do it - assuming it marks a DD as tape.

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Greetings , We are currently using syncsort 1.3.2 and would like to upgrade it to new version 1.4 . In the new release v1.4 , it no longer supports tape sorting . Hence it becomes necessary that i have to identify all the jobs which are currently using this feature and have them converted before going further . I need suggestions from people who has done this upgrade successfully in a production environment .I called up the support guys , and they told me to identify the jobs using tape sort in the currently installed release . I did some research on this and found 3 conditions to be satisfied in order to user tape sort feature a) SORTLIB DD statement in their JCL b) SYNCTAPE library in the linklist - (Which i already found to be there ) c) SORTWRK DD statements will have UNIT=TAPE Since we have thousands of jobs running in our environment , it is difficult to check the JCL of every job manually . Is there a different way to get this done ? Any sort of help is much appreciated Thanks in Advance, Roger ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
