Anton, If the B37 is on your output file that is one thing, however if it is on SORTWK then you probably need to add more.
Just an FYI... For DFSORT it will only use the first volume of a SORTWK dd statement. So if you code //SORTWK01 DD UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=(,,,20),... then it will not use the other 19 volumes. Syncsort on the other hand I think honors that request. Just a thought. Lizette > Anton, > > I am not sure what is your issue.
