This is an MVS message indicating that a duplicate catalog
entry exists. E.g., if you already have a dataset with dsn =
'xxxx.yyyy' and u try to create one with disp new, catlg,
you would get this error. the program open and write would
go through and at the end of the step the system would try
to put it in the system catalog. at this point since an
entry already exists the catlg would fail and give this
message. you can fix the problem by deleting/uncataloging
the first data set and going to the volume where the new
dataset exists(this info is in the msglog of the job) and
cataloging it.

If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
