More information is needed on a FOC198 error. It says FATAL ERROR and stops processing. It may be related to large amounts of data being processed for a sort. Sometimes using SET EXTSORT=OFF "fixes" the problem. Sometimes taking out SET EXTSORT=OFF "fixes" it. Sometimes the focexec gets the error either way.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Phyllis

What platform? What external sort package?

If it's MVS, it may be focsort or sortwork allocations; EDAPRINT should shed some light.

Thanks, Jack. It is MVS. I'll see if our Sys Programmer knows about EDAPRINT.

Here are SORT allocations for JCL on MVS:

//FOCSORT DD UNIT=PUBLIC,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10),RLSE),DCB=BLKSIZE=0
//S001WK01 DD UNIT=PUBLIC,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10),RLSE),DCB=BLKSIZE=0
//S001WK02 DD UNIT=PUBLIC,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10),RLSE),DCB=BLKSIZE=0
//S001WK03 DD UNIT=PUBLIC,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10),RLSE),DCB=BLKSIZE=0
//S001WK04 DD UNIT=PUBLIC,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10),RLSE),DCB=BLKSIZE=0
//S001WK05 DD UNIT=PUBLIC,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10),RLSE),DCB=BLKSIZE=0
//S001WK06 DD UNIT=PUBLIC,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10),RLSE),DCB=BLKSIZE=0

Here they are for running online:

TSO ALLOC FI(FOCSORT) SP(1000,100) TRACKS REU
TSO ALLOC FI(S001WK01) SP(1000,100) TRACKS REU
TSO ALLOC FI(S001WK02) SP(1000,100) TRACKS REU
TSO ALLOC FI(S001WK03) SP(1000,100) TRACKS REU
TSO ALLOC FI(S001WK04) SP(1000,100) TRACKS REU
-RUN

Have your systems programmer look at IBITABLA (which controls the IBI Reporting Server's dynamic allocations for HOLD, FOCSORT, etc); and at the configuration file for the sort package that specifies the number and size of sort work file alocated dynamically.
