Answer Posted / subra kondaveeti
Hello All, Move a alpha numeric field to Numeric fields doesn't necessarily gives a soc7 because it depends upon the what the alpha-numeric field contains.
for example value of 'ABCD' in teh alpha-numeric field ALSO MOVES 1234 to numeric field. if you look at the assembly instruction produced for the move statement is
moven which means ignore the zone portion of each byte and move the numeric value of the byte. but it can give soc7 if you move '----' to numeric field because it tries to move x'CACACACA' to numeric field. if you look at the numeric portion of every byte is 'A' and hence can't be moved

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
