MESSAGE
NO HEADER SPEC

Execution Messages
Execution messages are caused by some abnormal condition occurring during the actual sort, after the
specifications have been analyzed. When one of these errors occurs, the following takes place:
• A "SORTSTONE" is printed showing one of the error messages printed below.
B-105
MESSAGE
XSORT specifications must begin with one and only one header specification.
Field description specifications (formats) must be included for Address-out
(SORTA) and Record-out (SORTR) sorts
FURTHER EXPLANATION
The sum of control field lengths for this record section
exceeds the maximum sum specified in Header columns
13-17.
Total length of data in the output record for this record
section exceeds the length specified in Header columns
29-32.
Record character (column 17) is only used for specifi-
cation of a conditionally forced control field.
A force-all control field must be preceded by at least
one conditionally forced control field.
Continuation (column 19) is not valid with:
* An unconditionally forced control field.
* A conditionally forced control field that immediately
follows a one-character normal or opposite control field
that is not at the same record location.
A set of conditionally forced control fields that imme-
diately follow a normal or opposite control field cannot
be followed by a force-all control field.
Data fields ("D" in column 7) cannot be specified with
an Address-out sort (SORTA in Header columns 7-11)
