OMG, another MVS recommendation that won't lay down and die!!! (I'm not
dissing you Kees) This one is well past its use by date.

It was (and still is) a very good thing to exclude SORTWK datasets from VIO
when VIO is going out to your locals. Blockset to the SORTWORK datasets will
produce a much faster Sort than ASM will with VIO paging.

However, when Expanded Storage arrived, VIO started going there, and no
longer thrashed away on the Locals. Since then putting small SORTWK into SMS
allocated VIO along with all the other small, temp datasets has been a no
brainer.
