We are in the process of migrating dasd and I thought I would convert from Mod-9s to Mod-27s as part of the process. We just had a sort blow up due to the application coding option NOBLKSET.
CONTROL STATEMENTS FOR 5694-A01, Z/OS DFSORT V1R10 - SORT FIELDS=(39,40,CH,A) OPTION VLSHRT,DYNALLOC=(SYSDA,12),NOBLKSET ICE285A J BLOCKSET IS REQUIRED FOR WORK DATA SETS ON VOLUMES WITH MORE THAN 17476 CYLINDERS Fortunately the global option is BLKSET, so the general user community seems to be unaffected. User also specified VLSHRT which seems to require NOBLKSET. The application is CIMS. Are there any users of CIMS out there who could shed some light on why VLSHRT is required?
