Answer Posted / jignesh patel
The primary allocation is the space units given to the
empty new dataset initially. Though primary & secondary
spaces are allocated during defination it wont allow the
dataset to use the secondary allocation till the time
primary allocation fully acquired by the data of that
dataset.
As mentioned above, dataset uses the primary & secondary
spaces in the sense of EXTENT mode. the memory allocated is
virtually departed in the 16 extents. System can allocate
primary + secondary*16 space units in the best case.

I want to JCL sort for Non-COMP and COMP-3 fields SORT FIELDS=(1,5,A,6,11,A,12,11,A,19,1,A,20,1,A),FORMAT=BI,EQUALS Length of comp bytes is 11 bytes which start at 6byte and 12 byte considering 11 bytes in comp-3 is 6 bytes. Can anyone tell if the above sort work SORT FIELDS=(1,5,A,6,6,A,12,6,A,19,1,A,20,1,A),FORMAT=BI,EQUALS does not works OK

1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
