mfsort problem - getting a SORT124E - field position nnn invalid

Problem:

running bat file (or commandline)- to run sort - results in sort124e - field position 201 invalid

Resolution:

If the record size is greater than 256, a RECORD instruction must be used.

ex: Sample with the record parameter setting record of 300 bytes

mfsort sort fields(1,1,ch,a) use x:\\directory\\xxx.dat record f,300 give file2.dat
