Hello,

How can we check the version of Sync Sort installed on our mainframe? Is there any command to know that?
On the Forum, I saw some syncsort commands and tried to use them but they did not work. I suspect this could be because of the older version of Syncsort Software which is installed on the mainframe here.
If it is so I'd like to check it and let my manager and client know about it. But, how do we check the version of Sync Sort installed on our mainframe?

Look at the report produced by syncsort. The very first thing it does is tell you its version.

What are you calling a report? You mean the messages in SYSOUT ?

What else does Syncsort report on? Its diagnostics messages are its report on the execution undertaken.
This further question suggests that you have not even tried my suggestion - so what is the point of asking if you are not going to act upon it?

Submit this job and see the messages in SYSOUT and that's what nicc has said:

Code: Select all

//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN 
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=* 
//SORTIN DD * 
RECORD 
/* 
//SORTOUT DD DUMMY 
//SYSIN   DD   * 
 OPTION COPY 
/*
