I think what is happening is that the HSEND command is done
asynchronously and therefor the dataset has not been created when the
dfsort step runs.
You might code wait and that should help.

Hi all,
I've discovered some very odd behaviour when running a DFHSM
command in the same batch job as a DFSORT step, and I'm completely
baffled by what's happening.
We're running z/OS 2.2, although it also happens on 1.3 and 1.10.
I've written a piece of JCL that issues some DFHSM commands, runs a
REXX to format the output, then a SORT to sort the formatted
output. The job fails every time.
I've re-coded the job a number of times, and run the steps
individually, and it seems the job *only* fails when the SORT step
is included.
Rather than post the whole job, I've discovered I can re-create the
failure with a really simple example.
Consider the following JCL: -
<code>
//HSMLIST EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1A
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
HSENDCMD WAIT LIST PVOL OUTDATASET('MAINT.TEMP.LIST')
</code>
This works as expected. If 'MAINT.TEMP.LIST' doesn't exist, it
gets created. If it does, the responses from the LIST PVOL command
are appended to the end of the dataset. All good so far.
I create a new empty dataset, 'MAINT.TEMP.TEMP', based on
'MAINT.TEMP.LIST'. I then delete 'MAINT.TEMP.LIST', and run the
following JCL:-
<code>
//HSMLIST EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1A
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
HSENDCMD WAIT LIST PVOL OUTDATASET('MAINT.TEMP.LIST')
/*
//SORTIT EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MAINT.TEMP.LIST
//SORTOUT DD DISP=MOD,DSN=MAINT.TEMP.TEMP
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
/*
</code>
The job *fails* with a JCL error. I get the following message to
my terminal: -
ARC0141I ERROR ALLOCATING OUTPUT DATA SET
The joblog for the SORT step shows:-
IEFA107I xxxxxxxx SORTIT SORTIN - DATA SET MAINT.TEMP.LIST NOT FOUND
Can anyone shed any light on what's happening here?
Thanks in advance.
