Hi Kolusu,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes I am getting
WER426I SORT INTERNAL ERROR - RECOVERY ATTEMPT IN PROGRESS
message.

and then the program went into infinite loop.

I tried with
OPTION HIPRMAX=OPTIMAL,DYNALLOC,DSPSIZE=MAX (NO SORTWK NEEDED).

But still facing the same storage problem.

Thanks
Kalicharan.

Sorry, by mistake I wrote program...
I am not Calling sort within a cobol program.

That SORT step went into infinte loop.

Kolusu, are there any alternative ways to assign MAXIMUM work files to a SORT step.

Thanks
Kali.

kalicharan,

Are you sorting a Tape file? Post your Sort control cards and JCL you are running.

Kalicharan,

Run the following step and post the contents from the sysout. I suspect that your no: of records is more than the specified in FILSZ parm.

Thanks Kolusu.

The SORTIN file contains 5 million records.
The problem is with FILSZ parm value only.

I ran the SORT increasing FILSZ parm value to 5 million. It ran fine.

Thanks for your help.
