Hi,

I'm using this JCL

//CDC024S  JOB (@),' ',
//         CLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID 
//* 
//STEP101   EXEC PGM=SORT 
//SORTIN    DD DSN=ABCDEF.TEST.IN,DISP=SHR 
//SORTOUT   DD DSN=ABCDEF.TEST.OUT, 
//             DISP=(,CATLG,CATLG), 
//             SPACE(TRK,(5,5),RLSE) 
//SYSIN    DD * 
   SORT FIELDS=(5,4,ZD,A) 
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=* 
//*

and get this error:

Code: Select all

IEFC006I POSITIONAL PARAMETERS MUST BE SPECIFIED BEFORE KEYWORD PARAMETERS

This seems quite obvious but I am not able to locate the error. Could somone guide.

There is no '=' sign after space

Yes, there should be a = sign after SPACE.

Yes adding the = after space should solve the problem.
