Mark, In your case the reason code on the ICE083A was 970C but in Scott's case it was 064K. So your ICE083A issue had nothing to do with not being allocated as large format and exceeding 64K tracks. Rather, you didn't have volumes with enough space because the sortwork allocation was only being spread across 4 volumes. Did you retry your sort using dynamic allocation after your parmlib options were activated to increase DYNALLOC to SYSDA,8?
