Paul, DFSORT calls LE to process locale and convert the keys and Unicode services for processing UTF-8/16/32 data. >>. The Ref. has a page of usage notes on ZSORT where I don't see LOCALE >>mentioned. Sort accelerator is NOT compatible with LOCALE. It is listed under restrictions which is documented here https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=works-integrated-accelerator-z-sort You would get a reason code of 211 which is explained as a part of the message ICE267I https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=messages-ice267i Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
