REFORMAT REQUIRES TYPE=V FILE FOR RDW AND VARIABLE FIELDS

Explanation

Critical. The FIELDS operand of the REFORMAT statement has a position without a length (p without m) as its last field, but has one of the following errors:

  • F1: is used for the first field (which includes the RDW), but F1 does not refer to a TYPE=V file.
  • F2: is used for the first field (which includes the RDW), but F2 does not refer to a TYPE=V file.
  • F1: is used for a position without length field, but F1 does not refer to a TYPE=V file.
  • F2: is used for a position without length field, but F2 does not refer to a TYPE=V file.

For example, SORTJNF1 for F1 has RECFM=FB and SORTJNF2 for F2 has RECFM=VB and the REFORMAT statement is:

  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:1,20,F2:5,6,15)

instead of:

  REFORMAT FIELDS=(F2:1,4,F1:1,20,F2:5,6,15)

System action

The program terminates.

Programmer response

Ensure that the file (F1 or F2) used for the first field, and for each position without length field, is a TYPE=V file.
