Please show a sample DFSORT JCL and SORT OPTIONS. >Nothing used in main storage and 6000M memory objects in work storage.

We didn't move anything else. Really? Nothing? You did not mention any changes in paging activity? Is it ONLY your DFSORT jobs affected or other jobs too? >Any ideas what would cause that? One quick thing I can think of, is the response times of the disks including paging rates and your Storage Class SMS setting. Other than that, I would compare 'old' jobs and 'new' jobs. Also I would use RMF, for example, to compare workloads.
