How do I increase the SORTWORK space in a COBOL program. The output is written to an IAM file?

You would do it through your JCL. Here is a example:
Code:

//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=&WORK,                   <--- SORT WORK SPACE
//         SPACE=(CYL,(10),,CONTIG)                         
//SORTWK02 DD UNIT=&WORK,                   <--- SORT WORK SPACE
//         SPACE=(CYL,(10),,CONTIG)                         
//SORTWK03 DD UNIT=&WORK,                   <--- SORT WORK SPACE
//         SPACE=(CYL,(10),,CONTIG)                         


I have ten cylinders per sortwork area specified here.
