We've got a Cobol program (vendor software) that finally invoked DF-Sort
to sort a bigger amount of data. In a first try, we had JCL allocated
sort work data sets. It turned out that the about was insufficient. I'm
now trying to get sort to dynamically allocate the work space. It
complains that it could not allocate sufficient space either.

These are the control statements in use:
          SORT FIELDS=(0005,0605,CH,A)

          RECORD TYPE=V,LENGTH=(009332,,,000629,00003000)

          OPTION MSGDDN=SYSPRINT,DYNALLOC=SYSDA,EQUALS,FILSZ=E79326420


And these are the messages I got:

        ICE201I H RECORD TYPE IS V - DATA STARTS IN POSITION 5

        ICE083A D RESOURCES WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OF

Msg ICE083A does not describe the meaning of the reason 9700.

Also MSGs ICE248I & ICE249I confuse me.


In the job, I see that 4 SORTWKs were allocated:
        IGD101I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME (SORTWK01)

Any help is appreciated.
