Hi Kris,

This problem was solved and sorry for not updating the solution.
Here is the update

One of the reasons for getting SORT INTERNAL ERROR - RECOVERY ATTEMPT IN PROGRESS from Syncsort is due to assigning the incorrect value (very less file size value) to FILSZ parm in SORT card.

The value assigned to FILSZ parm should be greater than number of records in the inputfile (or nearer to input file record count).

In my case we are assigning 1500000 to FILSZ and we are processing 10539694 records.

And this is leading to the infinite loop in getting the extra storage.

FILSZ=E1500000
OPTION HIPRMAX=OPTIMAL, DYNALLOC, DSPSIZE=MAX (NO SORTWK NEEDED).

The SORT job ran fine with the below SORT card

FILSZ=E9500000
OPTION HIPRMAX=OPTIMAL,DYNALLOC, DSPSIZE=MAX (NO SORTWK NEEDED).


Thanks,
Kalicharan.
