Some interesting sections from DFSORT messages
1) DSA is set to 128 in parms but DSA=0 is in the sort message output
2) DFSORT at failure says an additional 44 WORK volumes were needed
There is a way to pass parms to DFSORT using DFSPARM DD statement
For our larger sorts I have coded
//DFSPARM DD *
DSA=128,FILESZ=50000000,UNIT=(SYSDA,32)
Maybe the DFSORT team will chime in
