SC23-6879-00

ICE059A
RECORD LENGTH INVALID FOR {DEVICE|ddname}

Explanation

Critical. The intermediate record created by DFSORT from the input record was either less than 18 bytes or more than 32756 bytes when work units were tape (indicated by DEVICE) or was too large for the assigned work data set device with the indicated ddname. The error can exist for other devices in addition to the one indicated.

System action

The program terminates.

Programmer response

If the intermediate record is too small, redefine input record length to at least 18 bytes. If the length is too large, assign work data set devices with larger track capacity.

If EQUALS is in effect, the maximum record length is reduced by 4 bytes.
