When DFSORT is invoked via program, it needs to know how many records it is sorting so that it can optimally allocate resources needed to sort that data. Since the program is feeding the records DFSORT does not have a clue and the resources allocated are not enough to complete the sort and hence the message ICE046A 0 SORT CAPACITY EXCEEDED - RECORD COUNT 6956799 Generally, DFSORT can automatically determine the input file size. However, in a few cases, such as when an E15 supplies all of the input records or when information about a tape data set is not available from a tape management system, DFSORT cannot determine an accurate file size. Your joblog does not show one of the important message. You should have gotten an ICE118I message ICE118I UNKNOWN FILE SIZE - RECOMMEND SPECIFYING FILSZ=EN TO REDUCE RISK OF FAILURE OR DEGRADED PERFORMANCE https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.icem100/mb00083.htm DFSORT failed after processing about 6,956,799 . So if you know how many records you are going to process, then you can pass an estimated filesize via DFSPARM like this //DFSPARM DD * OPTION FILSZ=E10000000 /* Since DFSORT already processed about 6.9 million records, I just estimated that you have 10 million records. You can change that number depending on your input file. Further if you have any questions please let me know Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
