That's correct Martin . It is the tape sort work datasets that are not supported . Syncsort support says that they have a new function called MAXSORT in the new release which has replaced the tape sort feature due to poor performance .
Ravi , You wouldn't be having SYNCTAPE load library with v1.4.1 .But they were used in prior releases . Syncsort vendor wanted me to identify all the jobs first so that they can be converted to use MAXSORT . Was syncsort recently upgraded to 1.4.1 in your shop ? Also , tape sort is not compatible with VTS .

I think it's tape sort WORK data sets that aren't supported - judging by others' contributions to this thread.
