I would like to ask for help regarding this JCL... I can't seem to get it working. I'm running this on mainframe. I get RC 16.

You need to included the full sysout from the step which failed. Looking at that, we may not know what problem is generated. The sysout will also tell us the size of your input records. - Bill Woodger
RC=16 just means there is something wrong, which SORT can't deal with. - Bill Woodger
Interested to know which it was. - Bill Woodger

RC=16 just means there is something wrong, which SORT can't deal with.

Guessing:

  1. Your input is VB, and you should have:

    OPTION COPY
    OUTREC BUILD=(5,TRAN=ATOE)

    The 5 says "from position 5 to the end of the current record".

  2. Your input is FB, and your record-length is less than 1172.
