z/OS DFSORT Messages, Codes and Diagnosis Guide
SC23-6879-00

ICE023A
NO LENGTH OPERAND

Explanation

Critical. The input record length was not available. A RECORD statement with an L1 or L2 value is required when an E15 or E32 user exit supplies all of the input records, or when a temporary empty VSAM data set defined without a RECSZ value is used for input.

This message can also be issued if input processing is bypassed because of a previous error.

System action

The program terminates.

Programmer response

Check for:
  • A missing RECORD statement
  • A RECORD statement without a LENGTH operand or without an L1 value
  • A missing SORTIN DD statement or SORTINnn DD statement
  • A temporary empty input VSAM data set defined without a RECSZ value
