But each must: 1) use a separate set of DDs for SORTWORK; 2) use different DDs for SORTIN, SORTOUT and perhaps DFSPARM (if used).; 3) If you use any exit(s) in differents, the exit code will need to be truly RE-ENTRANT; 4) The address space must have enough virtual storage. BTW - do you mean sort 1_000_000 entries, or 1_000_000 invocations of DFSORT? I think the same restrictions will be in effect for SYNCSORT as well. > > -- > Tom Marchant > -- People in sleeping bags are the soft tacos of the bear world.
