The point of the post was that this was something weird which someone might
have experienced.

Anyway, here is what we see:

Input:
//SORT     EXEC  PGM=SORT
//SYSIN    DD  *
 SORT FIELDS=(61,100,CH,A,265,2000,CH,A)
 SUM FIELDS=NONE
 END
//*

Changing the SORT to use these parms instead:
        SORT FIELDS=(61,100,CH,A,265,1940,CH,A)
makes the problem go away.

AS is often the case, without the sort statements, file attributes and
actual error messages, I doubt any of us are psychic enough to give a
meaningful answer.
