Hi,
Thanks everybody for the feedback.
Somebody else was working on the problem today because I actually tried
to get some sleep.
So I forwarded all these postings to him and Dave , we would sent you
the FULL output.
Summary:
I really would suggest that we make "IBM Software" more user friendly :
a) Why not print a warning message to the User indicating that any
SORTWK99 dataset will only use ONE volume
b) Why not print a message to the user stating that the Memory
allocation is too small.
c) Why do we still have a limit in zOS with regards the Primary Cylinder
allocation. Apparently it's 4000 Cylinders and I found this out the hard
way last night.
d) When abending, please tell me more. Currently you print messages that
says "For the IBM support rep.".... I thought IBM stopped doing this in
the 80's
You do print how many records are about to be sorted, so you are half
way there ( Don't take me halfway... I want it all .... and I want it now )

I already answered Anton in another post but I wanted to respond to this
and make clear that DFSORT work files cannot span multiple volumes. If you
coded UNIT=(SYSDA,10) on a SORTWKnn DD statement, DFSORT would still use
only 1 volume for each SORTWK data set.
Have a nice day,

If necessary and the file is SMS managed add a volume parameter to
the UNIT parameter, eg. UNIT=(SYSDA,10).
It doesn't have to be SMS managed for the volume parameter to work.
