Defining sort work data sets

You can define index sort work data sets in the following ways:

  • Let the sort routine make the allocations dynamically by using installation defaults.
  • Specify SORTDEVT and SORTNUM and let the sort routine dynamically make the allocations.
  • Specify only SORTDEVT, and let BMCSORT determine the number of data sets.
  • Code the DD statements in the JCL for the ddnames as follows:
    • L001WK01 through L001WKnn for log sorts (non-parallel)

    • LxxxWKnn for log sorts

      xxx is the number of the log sort and is a number between 1 and the value that is specified for MAXLSORT. nn is the number of the work data set.

    • LOGOUnnn sort message files

      nnn is the number of the log sort and is a number between 1 and the value that is specified for MAXLSORT.

    • S001WK01 through S001WKnn for key sorts (non-parallel)

    • SxxxWK01 through SxxxWKnn

      xxx is a number between 1 and the value of the MAXKSORT option and nn is a number between 1 and the value specified for SORTNUM installation option or the OPTIONS SORTNUM parameter, for key sort work files for multiple index key sorts running in parallel in subtasks.
