I have to ask: where did you come up with "38" as the extended routing code to use? I would have expected DFSORT to use 17 and SYNCSORT to use something in the 200-255 range that are reserved for non-IBM products. Or perhaps you might say that "the" sort program is to use routing code 17. Only the product can tell you if it has a dependency on the routing code that you use. Most will not have such a dependency; some might. In any case, you really ought to use something in the range 200-255 for the second. For what it's worth, there is a historical annotation from 1988 that SVC 109 routing codes up to 53 are "assigned". I do not know "assigned to what" or even if such assignments are still correct.
