User response
Look for any system message that might be related
to this error. Ensure that the SYSOUT DD statement was specified.
If so, look for SORT error messages in SYSOUT. Check the JCL and data
set space allocation. The space requirements vary by application and
by volume of input. The data set should be a temporary sequential
data set. Do not specify the record format, logical record length,
or block size in the JCL. Refer to the sample JCL specification in Figure 1 for the correct JCL specification
of the sort work data sets.
