DFSORT tells me: "Generally, DFSORT can automatically determine the input file size. However, in a few cases, such as when an E15 supplies all of the input records, when information about a tape data set is not available from a tape management system, or when Blockset is not selected, DFSORT cannot determine an accurate file size."
If I want to subtask multiple sorts (same input file), and use E15/E35 so I can control the reading of the input file, it would seem DFSOFT would run more efficiently if I allocated the SORTWRks. Our nightly batch cycle has a lot of sorts and many use the same input file. I've been tasked with improving the run times. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Hal Merritt Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 10:02 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: SORTWK files Why? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Larry Crilley Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 8:14 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: SORTWK files I want to dynamically allocate my own sort work files ..snip Larry Crilley NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
