'SORT CAPACITY EXCEEDED'

[121.gupta]

hi,
i am running a sort job which is having some 3 million records..,in input file.,when i am sorting the records on some org-key..,it is showing SORT CAPACITY EXCEEDED as an statement with ABENDU0016 abend.This is the control card:


SORT FIELDS=(17,3,CH,A,
1324,5,CH,A),FILSZ=E45000000
OPTION DYNALLOC=(SYSDA,700)

plz provide the desired sol for the same..,
Thanks,

Why are you passing it an estimated record count with FILSZ? Is the input not a disk file?

Anyway, you probably should post the entire contents of the SYSOUT DD statement.

SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
SORTIN DD DSN=DIWS.CP000000.HWS3.FFB.ACCTSTG.MERGED,
DISP=SHR
SORTOUT DD DSN=DIWS.CP000000.HWS3.FFT.ACCTSTG.SORTED,

Suggest you post the entire SYSOUT from the failed Job - so that we can understand what exactly caused the problem and what SORT produt are you using. In doing so, suggest, you, remove the CPU related info from the SYSOUT.

Also, are you passing some parameters to SORT, on EXEC? If yes - post them too.

Hi as my job is getting abended in step005 only and passing the values in exec as PARM='VSCORET=75M,VSCORE=3M,FILSZ=E45000000'. rest all i have mentioned in my previous posts.

Sorry, I kept the thread opened for long enough - didn't see the other posts. Are you using SYNCSORT?

[121.gupta]

yes i am using syncsort.

Okay - you should get some "B" mesasges in the SYSOUT, please post them.
