I think you really need to figure out why your JCL sortwork is being directed to VIO. Have you tried using a large space allocation. Usually ACS routines set a MAXSIZE threshold for directing to a VIO storage group. If you can stop the SORT work data set from being directed to VIO, then DFSORT will not try to re-allocate it to SORTDK.
