Trying to sort a fairly large RMF data file. 20,000 + cylinders. I keep running out of SORTWK space. I have 9 3390-9 volumes in my SMS temporary storage pool. But I just noticed that no matter how many SORTWKxx DDs I add it only allocates file on the first 5 temp storage volumes. Anyone have an idea how I make DFSORT use more volumes?
