I am using SYNCSORT to modify VB records (LRECL is > 2000), and this is my 
SYSIN:

OPTION COPY                                      
OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(05,02,CH,NE,X'0000',AND,    
                      05,02,CH,NE,X'FFFF') ,      
               OVERLAY=(76,2,C'6B',               
                        1644,1,C'C',1668,1,C'C',  
                        1789,1,C'C',1812,1,C'C')),
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=NONE,BUILD=(1,4,5))          

However, I get the following error message:

WER235A  OUTREC   RDW NOT INCLUDED

I cannot see from the SYNCSORT documentation of the OVERLAY sub-parameter how 
to legally specify the RDW field in the OPVERLAY value, since the doc clearly 
says:

"The RDW cannot be overlaid." (page 2-198 in "SYNCSORT MFX for z/OS Release 
1.4")

Can anyone point me to the right way to specify the RDW here?

If it matters, the SYNCSORT version is:

SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS  1.4.1.0N

TIA for any assistance you can provide.

Peter
