If you specify absolutely nothing about MEMLIMIT anywhere, the system-provided

Right.  IBM's provided defaults are always optimal.
You're kidding, aren't you?


Well,
My issue (problem?) is I have MEMLIMIT coded, but it's much more than default 
2G. And I noticed that some DFSORT jobs consume considerable amounts of memory 
causing paging.
 From the other hand I don't want to be stingy, so I'm looking for some 
recommendations.
o Hmmm... I'd think that any parameterization resulting in significant
   paging of I/O buffers is counterproductive.  Is DFSORT aware of this
   in its design, and does it attempt to tailor its WSS to fit in real
   storage?

o OTOH, paging I/O is reported to be very good.  And 64-bit virtual
   is enough for most plausible data sets.  How about eliminating
   SORTWKn data sets and performing the entire sort in virtual
   storage?  But this approach must pay careful attention to LoR.
I eliminated static SORTWK DDs many years ago and let SORT to choose optimal work datasets if any are needed. Sort in memory sounds fine, but there are tasks to large for that. I observed DFSORT jobs consuming >48GB of memory. And that caused excessive paging and problems with OLTP. While I can (and I do) limit such jobs by adding MEMLIMIT to the jobcard, I cannot preclude any new job and maybe other entities "hogging" memory.
