Lizette; Thanks for that suggestion. For now, I looked at what you have and I will give some similar cards a shot. Also, I didn't realize I could reach out to the DFSORT team directly, so thanks for that!

If the parameters I put in based on Lizettes don’t' work, I will suggest coding of the SORTWK statements. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Monday, October 02, 2017 10:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Sort Question 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 Lizette > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Elardus Engelbrecht > Sent: Monday, October 02, 2017 7:14 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Sort Question > > Pfister, Nathan wrote: > > >Sorry for the long post, but here's all the info. > >Here's the jobs output: > > >ICE092I 0 MAIN STORAGE = (128000,1048576,1048576) ICE156I 0 MAIN > >STORAGE ABOVE 16MB = (590271,590271) > > It is looking small for me, at least for me.
