Robinson,

Generally you would point SORTLIB to SYS1.SORTLIB

//SORTLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.SORTLIB

Most of the blockset modules can be run with just  SICELINK  and SORTLPA
which would be in the LPA

You would only need SORTLIB to use Conventional technique modules of DFSORT
and you just need to pass that alone to SORTLIB dd

>>We have a DFSORT job that wolfs down enormous amounts of SORTWK space.

Are these DB2 invoked utility sorts?

>>so we advised the user to point SORTWK to tape instead of DASD.

Ideally I wouldn't prefer using tape sort works, but  I would look as to
what the user is doing that needs such huge SORTWK space. May be the job
can fine tuned?

Thanks,
