I have input file with 70000000 number of records with record length 750.
The SORT job initially failed with RC=16 and following message

Code:

WER036B  G=13529,B=6,BIAS=01                                                 
WER162B  0 PREALLOCATED SORTWORK TRACKS, 240,000 DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATED,       
WER162B     302,415 ACQUIRED IN 152 SECONDARY EXTENTS, 0 RELEASED, TOTAL OF 542,415 TRACKS USED
WER046A  SORT CAPACITY EXCEEDED                                               
WER055I  INSERT          0, DELETE          0                                 
WER211B  SYNCSMF  CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000                                 
WER449I  SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE                                 
WER066A  APROX RCD CNT        35509259                                       


Hence i changed this ordinary sort to MAXSORT and the job again failed with the following messgae
Code:

WER162B  75,000 PREALLOCATED SORTWORK TRACKS, 225 DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATED,     
WER162B     377,025 ACQUIRED IN 95 SECONDARY EXTENTS, 0 RELEASED, TOTAL OF 419
WER124I  PREALLOCATED/USED SORTWORK SPACE USAGE FACTOR = 1.07                 
WER045C  END SORT PHASE                                                       
WER055I  INSERT          0, DELETE          0                                 
WER322A  TAPE DYNALLOC FAILURE--CODE = 021C                                   
WER449I  SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE                                 


Here is the JCL i used (after incl MAXSORT)
Code:

//STEP20A EXEC PGM=SYNCSORT,REGION=0M,

Please help me out to code the sortwk and sortou dd files.
As this is a production abend, also please let me know if there is any other way to resolve the issue without using MAXSORT. Also please not that both sortin and sortout files are allocation in tape

magopala,

If you are running on the latest version of Syncsort (Ver. 1.1 or 1.2) then try using PARASORT or PIPESORT (available only in ver 1.2)

Check the first line of sysout to get the version of sort.

Thanks,
Phantom

The Dynamic Allocation error x'021C' explains that you have a bad UNIT name.

For MAXSORT, you must tell SORT the name of the tape units it can allocate. Add TAPENAME=T3490 to your PARM.

For SORTWKs, MAXSORT will use whatever you tell it to use. Add MAXWKSP=nnnM to your PARM. Provide the approx megabytes you've allocated in SORTWKs.

magopala,


Here is an explanation of the error.


Code:

WER322A    TAPE DYNALLOC FAILURE - CODE=xxxx                                   
                                                                               
           EXPLANATION: Attempts to dynamically allocate tape units for a merge
           phase met with unexpected failure. Code xxxx gives the hexadecimal   
           return code from the dynamic allocation request. For an explanation 
           of this code, see either IBM publication OS MVS Programming:         
           Authorized Assembler Services Guide SA22-7608 or MVS/ESA System     
           Programming Library: Application Development Guide, GC28-1852.       


And here is the explanation of the error reason code 021C

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2A840/26.3.2?DT=20040108161603

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu
