If both those libraries have contents, I'd try with just SYS1.SORTLIB. It fails quickly doesn't it?
Based on my interpretation of https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.icei100/lp.htm -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Jesse 1 Robinson Sent: Tuesday, June 5, 2018 11:32 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: SORTLIB DD We have a DFSORT job that wolfs down enormous amounts of SORTWK space. It has been exceeding the DASD capacity on the system where it runs, so we advised the user to point SORTWK to tape instead of DASD. Now it fails with IEC130I SORTLIB DD STATEMENT MISSING IEF472I CIHM373 STEP010 CIHM373 - COMPLETION CODE - SYSTEM=000 USER=0063 IBM doc indicates the need for SORTLIB with a 'tape sort'. We have no working example to share with the user. My question: what should DD SORTLIB point to? SMPE puts load modules into SYS1.SORTLIB SYS1.SICELINK Should the user specify only the first one or both? I hate to drag them into a sysprog guessing game. . .
