SORTNUM

This option specifies the default number of temporary sort work data sets that are allocated dynamically by BMCSORT for sorting log records and index keys.

You can specify an integer value of 1 through 255. If you do not specify a value, the value is obtained from the BMCSORT installation options.

You can override the SORTNUM installation option by setting the SORTNUM keyword on one of the following commands:

  • OPTIONS
  • RECOVER TABLESPACE, RECOVER INDEXSPACE, or RECOVER INDEX
  • RECOVER UNLOADKEYS
  • REBUILD INDEX

When you specify this option, BMCSORT dynamically allocates the number of sort work files that it needs for each sort task up to the maximum that is illustrated in the following formula:

 maximum dynamically allocated sort work files = n - preallocated sort
work files

If you specify integer from 1 through 32, n equals 32.

If you specify integer greater than 32, n equals integer.

Warning

Important

Preallocated sort work files include sort work files that are allocated in your JCL.

For more information, see General information about SORTDEVT and SORTNUM.
