How much work space you need depends on various factors such as the size of the input file.
Generally, it's better to NOT specify JCL SORTWKdd DDs so that DFSORT can dynamically allocate the work space. I'd suggest removing the JCL work files.
For more information, see "Appendix A. Using Work Space" of "z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide". _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)

The UNIT parameter might solve your problem if the SB37 is for SORTOUT. See JCL manual. _________________ ....Terry |

Hello all,
I just received this question from my friend, guess he shud have been questioned in an interview.
A file has Just 10 records and Space allocated is 50,50 cylinders. The JCL gives SB37 abend, what could be the reason?
Cheers

1 - As thgis is a new topic a new topic should have been started.
2 - As it is an interview question it should have been put in that forum _________________ Utility and Program control cards are NOT, repeat NOT, JCL. |
