Lizette, There are a number of checks that are done before the sort attempts to use MIDAW. The final check is when we look at the UCBMIDAW bit in the UCB involved. If a channel program tried to use MIDAW and it was disabled on the system level, IOS would fail the channel program with a PGM CHECK. I have seen this situation. It is possible that the sort is really not using MIDAW and the message is being posted in error. We have never seen this and however unlikely, it is possible. If you would contact me off-list, we can discuss what the next steps could be.

We are in the process of upgrading our EMC dasd from DMX3000 to DMX4500. We have just recently got the DMX4500 connect but not setup to be used. For some reason we are having MIDAW activated on our systems that can support MIDAW. I did not issue a SETIOS MIDAW=YES so I am not sure how it is getting turned on. So I issue the SETIOS MIDAW=NO, it says it is disabled. However when one specific Syncsort Job runs, the Output shows that MIDAW was used even though the D IOS,MIDAW shows disabled Has anyone seen that?
