Let me reiterate. The problem job tries to allocate more DASD work space than *exists* on the system. SORTIN is on tape--multiple files. We have the capability of putting more volumes online temporarily, but this is a major PITA and requires intervention from the Storage boys. I'm hoping that tape SORTWK will get the user over the occasional hump for this ad hoc non-production job. It does not have to perform well. It just has to work.
