IEC036I 002-F7 running DFSORT with SORTIN and SORTOUT pointing to the same data set

How To

Summary

Running ICEMAN where SORTIN and SORTOUT DD statements point to the same data set can see unpredictable results including IEC036I 002-F7 if the data set is zEDC compressed.

Steps

For a copy operation using ICEMAN, the SORTIN data set should not be the same as the SORTOUT data set or any OUTFIL data set because this can cause lost or incorrect data or unpredictable results.

Example job:



//SORT002 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN,PARM='LIST',COND=(4,LT)
//SORTIN DD DSN=DSN1,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=DSN1,DISP=SHR
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
