DB2 Sort and SyncSort do not have that limitation. Their limitation
is
2**40 rather than 2**32.

Hi David,
Thanks for your useful information.
So The APAR PM43006 will solve our problem? Am I right?
Best regards
Manshadi

Problem.
Unfortunately, you are exceeding a DFSORT limitation on the number of
records that can be sorted. DFSORT has the following limitations
1. Variable-length records - 4294967295 records 2. EQUALS in effect -
4294967295 records 3. VLSHRT in effect - 2147483647 records 4.
Blockset
technique not selected - 2147483647 records
Number 4 will not be a problem since Blockset is always used for
sorts
invoked by DB2 Utilities. DB2 APAR PM43006 causes the utilities
to pass
NOVLSHRT and NOEQUALS which would resolve numbers 2 and 3 but
since this is
a vaiable length sort, you're still going to have that first
limitation of
4,294,967,295 records. Normally you'd want to break up the reorg by
partitions but since you're doing a rebalance, I guess that's why
it's
trying to sort the entire file at once. I suggest you open PMR
and see if
DB2 Utilities support can provide a solution.
Also two additional notes about this.
1. It looks like your DFSORTinstallation default for DSA is 64 and
that's
causing the utility to limit the mainsize it passes. You probably
want
something much larger for a sort this size. I'd suggest changing
your
installation default to something much larger like DSA=256.
2. It appears you are running DFSORT V1R5. That has been out of
service
for quite some time.
Have a nice day,

Problem.
You need to look at the sort messages to determine why the sort
failed.
If
you want, send the entire joblog to the DFSORT hot line
(dfs...@us.ibm.com)
and we can look it over for you.

Hi,
We have a table space with 250 partition and 4,600,000,000 records
which it's have to re partition.
Because of lack space on the DASD we are trying to use Tape on some
DD cards as follows :
//SYSREC DD DSN=TEMPDS.TAPE1,DISP=(MOD,CATLG),
// UNIT=CART,RETPD=36,BLKSIZE=0,LABEL=(,SL)
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=TEMPDS.TAPE2,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// UNIT=CART,RETPD=36,BLKSIZE=0,LABEL=(,SL)
//SORTOUT DD
DSN=TEMPDS.TAPE3,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// UNIT=CART,RETPD=36,BLKSIZE=0,LABEL=(,SL)
//SYSCOPY DD DSN=TEMPDS.TAPE4,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// UNIT=CART,RETPD=36,BLKSIZE=0,LABEL=(,SL)
We are using 123 work data sets as follows :
//SORTWK01 DD DISP=(NEW,DELETE),UNIT=SYSDA, //
SPACE=(CYL,(4300,1000),RLSE), //
VOL=(,,,180),STORCLAS=SCLARGE
//SORTWK02 DD DISP=(NEW,DELETE),UNIT=SYSDA, //
SPACE=(CYL,(4300,1000),RLSE), //
VOL=(,,,180),STORCLAS=SCLARGE
//SORTWK03 DD DISP=(NEW,DELETE),UNIT=SYSDA, //
SPACE=(CYL,(4300,1000),RLSE), //
VOL=(,,,180),STORCLAS=SCLARGE
.
.
.
.
.
.
//SORTWK4F DD DISP=(NEW,DELETE),UNIT=SYSDA, //
SPACE=(CYL,(4300,1000),RLSE), //
VOL=(,,,180),STORCLAS=SCLARGE
And the reorg options as follows :
//DFSPARM DD *
OPTION MOSIZE=0
//DSNUPROC.SYSIN DD *
REORG TABLESPACE QQBANCS.TSINHO REBALANCE
LOG NO SORTDATA SORTDEVT SYSDA SORTNUM 4
COPYDDN(SYSCOPY)
/*
The problem is the unload phase cont the number of records which we
expected and after this we assume that it should be switch to next
step , but the job failed with following error:
DSNUGUTC - OUTPUT START FOR UTILITY, UTILID = ROINHORB DSNUGTIS -
PROCESSING SYSIN AS EBCDIC
DSNUGUTC - REORG TABLESPACE QQBANCS.TSINHO REBALANCE LOG NO
SORTDATA
DSNUGSRT - ERROR FROM SORT COMPONENT RC=16, UTILITY STOPPED
DSNUGBAC
- UTILITY BATCH MEMORY EXECUTION ABENDED, REASON=X'00E40005'
Please help if you have any idea about it.
