David,
Many moons ago (maybe DFSORT 1.7) the recommended total SORTWK space was 1.7
times the input file size. I've noted how using Hiperspace and Dataspace
reduces the sortwk space used, and I'm wondering if your 10% recommendation
is based on Sort being able to use an optimal amount of memory.
David's suggestion is a good one (unless someone knows a time when it could be
zeros and not indicate a DD DUMMY file).
TIOEFSRT is a GUPI field - although that doesn't always mean you can be assured
of its usability in the future.

1) You should look in SMP/E Reference for the definition of the DDDEF
keywords. For example:
o SYSOUT is mutually exclusive with BLOCK, CYLINDER, TRACK, CONCAT,
PATH, and DATASET.
2) I don't see how OUTLIM would be remotely useful in SMP/E,

Unfortunately, that part is ignored more often than not. Bean counters look

I just noticed the following in one of your postings.
If I want to subtask multiple sorts (same input file),
