OPTION LOCALE is processed only if it is passed in an extended parameter list or in DFSPARM. Sounds like you're trying to pass it in SYSIN in which case it will be ignored. Try: //DFSPARM DD * OPTION LOCALE=PL_PL SORT FIELDS=(14,9,CH,A) When I passed PL_PL in DFSPARM, the LOCALE was used as indicated by this message: ICE722I 0 ACTIVE LOCALE PL_PL When I passed PL_WE in DFSPARM, I got this error message: ICE714A 0 LOAD FAILED FOR ACTIVE LOCALE PL_WE > > 2.

SPANINC only applies to spanned records. DFSORT's E18 and E38 exits have some error handling capabilities (SYNAD, EROPT), but I don't know if they apply to your situation.
