OMG, another MVS recommendation that won't lay down and die!!! (I'm not dissing you Vernoy) This one is well past its use by date.
It was (and still is) a very good thing to exclude SORTWK datasets from VIO when VIO is going out to your locals. Blockset to the SORTWORK datasets will produce a much faster Sort than ASM will with VIO paging. However, back when Expanded Storage arrived, VIO started going there, and no longer thrashed away on the Locals. Since then putting small SORTWK into SMS allocated VIO along with all the other small, temp datasets has been a no brainer.
