Error description
DFSORT issues a user abend with the appropriate code, in this case the error message number, when completion is unsuccessful and ABEND option is in effect. The DFSORT abend results in IRSP hanging. For unsuccessful completion with NOABEND in effect, DFSORT passes back a return code of 16, 20 or 28 to the operating system or the invoking program. IRSP can specify NOABEND in control statements when calling sort.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: DFSORT customers using the ABEND global * * option. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using DFSORT and the sort system * * setting indicates ABEND, if the SORT ta * * encounters an error, the SORT task will * * ABEND and not return a status back to * * the HPCA main task. This causes the * * HPCA main task to go into an infinite * * wait. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: As a workaround, ensure that the DFSORT * * global option is set to NOABEND. Once this * * maintenance is applied the NOABEND option * * is enforced. * **************************************************************** When using DFSORT and the sort system setting indicates ABEND, if the SORT task encounters an error, the SORT task will ABEND and not return a status back to the HPCA main task. This causes the HPCA main task to go into an infinite wait.
Problem conclusion
HPCA will be modified to always set the DEBUG NOABEND option when SORT is invoked ensuring the SORT task always responds to the waiting HPCA main job.
