I used sort004.jcl to write the output to p3.output (# 10) and had the following error:
11 BYTE RECORD LENGTH IS NOT EQUAL TO 80 BYTE LRECL FOR BAD
Perhaps the secret lies in the description of the challenge, 11 bytes is not enhancing the length of the field, but the bcd position within each useful byte. If so each byte would fit 2 digits bcd!

Hi KEVIN!
I HAVE THE SAME DOUBTS THAT YOU ARE NOW UNABLE TO SEND THIS TOOLMSG REPORT TO P3.OUTPUT (# 10). I HAVE ALREADY MAKED VARIOUS ATTEMPTS, BUT I ALSO AGREE WITH YOU THAT LIMITING SENDING THROUGH XDC WAS NOT THE BEST IDEA !

VERIFY produces a return code 12 as a result of finding invalid packed decimal. So MAXCC 12 is correct. Yes indeed, we only need the TOOLMSG report and then copy that to P3.OUTPUT(#10).

Kind regards

The JCL will always return MAXCC = 12 like this right?

Like this https://kevindurant.be/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/public-packed.png 🙂

Please don’t pull your hair out and thanks for the kind words 🙂
