There are plenty of ways to get SORT to do the SORTWK allocations for you. If you've gone thru the work to set it up ... I dislike coding SORTWK DDs if I don't have to. Of course there are also times that they are invaluable. I prefer to only code what is really needed... otherwise you endup with the silly JCL and pet peeves like on http://planetmvs.com/peeves/index.html under IEBCOPY Overdrive. *grin*
