That corrected the error of running out space. However I thought it would be a good idea to try DYNALLOC and be done with programers needing SORTWK DD. But change the JCL to OPTION DYNALLOC=3390,FILSZ=E5500000
Causes it to fail almost immediately with SMS not allocating any space.

Maybe I'll leave well enough alone since I was able to make it work with the SORTWK DDs On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 9:33 AM, Mark Pace <pacemainl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well part of the problem is an embarrassment.
