IDC2648I   JOB CONTROL CARDS FOR EXTERNAL SORT MISSING OR IN ERROR

Explanation

If this message occurs by itself, the caller specified the EXTERNALSORT parameter, but did not provide the proper job control for the sort work files.

If this message is preceded by IDC2649I or IDC2650I, BLDINDEX was not able to complete an internal sort. Proper job control for the external sort work files was not supplied. The alternate index being built is named in a subsequent message.

System action

The system ends processing for this alternate index. However, BLDINDEX attempts to process any other alternate indices specified by the OUTFILE or OUTDATASET parameter.

System programmer response

If the error recurs and the program is not in error, search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the JCL and the SYSOUT output for the job.

Programmer response

Correct the external sort work file job control. Submit the job again. Alternatively, provide enough virtual storage so that an internal sort can be performed.
