OK. An internal SORT. Need to see the contents of the above three (members for the first two).

i just wanted to know how can i do to calculate exactly the number of sortwork i need for this volume.

That may be so, but if you don't provide the information, what would you like us to do? Take a blind guess?

It looks like you have an internal SORT (which is why the JCL doesn't look so much like a SORT). It may be that DFSORT itself is not reading the files, which makes its estimates go up in smoke. It may be that you have some other problem, that is transient. By the time you re-run, the problem has gone, so it looks like increasing the workspace does it for you. It may be... etc. "May be"s are pretty useless to us.

By far the easiest way to minimise space for "sortwork" is to use dynamic allocation. For an internal SORT, you may well have to give SORT some assistance, like an estimate of the number of records (and an average record-length for variable-length records, which you don't have).

However, with no further information from yourself...

Perhaps if you don't want to tell us, send all the information to the DFSort e-mail address. You're paying for their support already. You may as well use it if you don't want to do anything else.

Hello, i can't andersand why you are tellin me i didn't give you the number of records..
Have a look ti my first message :

BTHDATE= 12/12/2012 VENDOR = BLANKS   COUNT  = 00313    TWERRC = 00000       
DATECLN= ZEROS      USECLN = 00000    CLNCNT = 000      TRERRI = 00000       
VOLSEQ = 0001       ROBTY  = VIBM     ROBID  = 002      TWERRI = 00000       
1STVOL = 409267     NEXTVOL= 410205   PREVVOL=          PRERRC = 00000       
NUMDSNB= 00000      1STDSNB= 00000000 LSTDSNB= 00000000 PWERRC = 00000       
LABEL  = SL         DEN    = 38KC     TRTCH  = 36X2     PRERRI = 00000       
RECFM  = FB         LRECL  = 001500   BLKSIZE= 027000   PWERRI = 00000       
AUDATE = 30/12/2014 AUTIME = 0051     BESKEY = 00000    BLKCNT = 0000929241   
AUCODE = 01         AUFLAG1= 00       CPUID  = CPU1     USERID = OPC         


I think it's quite clear :

LRECL : 1500
BLKSIZE= 027000
and
BLKCNT = 0000929241

you don't have enought ?

It is not 'quite clear' as the information is 'hidden away' amongst all the other information. And in this case the SYSOUT from the successful run will show the exact number of records processed whereas using the info from LRECL, BLKSIZE and block count only gives an approximation (which you could use to provide the extimated count to sort).
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

I didn't say you didn't give us the number of records. I said you didn't tell SORT the (estimated) number of records.

Email the stuff you won't tell us to the DFSORT address. Remember the time of year and the timezone. Can't think of anything else to suggest without seeing what you don't want to show us.

The second file you showed is the interesting one of the two. Here is the workspace allocated and used in that step.

ICE165I 0 TOTAL WORK DATA SET TRACKS ALLOCATED: 2040000 , TRACKS USED: 1200450


You could take the "bytes sorted":

ICE134I 0 NUMBER OF BYTES SORTED: 62019438000


And come up with a ratio. Add a little bit to be safe, then you'll have something which will probably mostly work.

This, since the processed and expected are so close, tells you that DFSORT is reading the file:

ICE253I 0 RECORDS SORTED - PROCESSED: 41346292, EXPECTED: 41346306


So a good reason to use dynamic allocation of workspace.

This is interesting:

ICE074I 0 RECORD LENGTH L1 OR L3 OVERRIDDEN


There's still a lot unexplained, but you should have your answer now.
That means the 500 which was specified was ignored. Lucky for you.

OK.

I didn't anderstand the story of 500 which is specified... Where it is specified and why i a m lucky ?

Thank's for your help.

There it is. Where it came from I can't say (you won't show the rest to see if it is there, or whether it comes from a program).

Lucky that SORT won't let you do that, since each 1500-byte record would be treated as three records of 500 bytes each. If you want to see the chaos that would cause, take your test file, and code an LRECL of 500 for the input dataset and look at the output :-)

For a non-VSAM and non-exit file, the RECORD statement is not needed. To put it another way, it is only needed if SORT cannot determine the LRECL. Best for it not to exist except when needed.
