Messages ICE127I through ICE133I, ICE235I and ICE236I indicate the options in effect for a Blockset sort, copy, or merge application or a Peerage/Vale sort application.

When DFSORT is invoked by JCL, these options can come from the EXEC PARM field, the SYSIN data set, the DFSPARM data set, or the installation defaults. When DFSORT is invoked dynamically, these options can come from the SORTCNTL data set, the DFSPARM data set, the invocation parameter list, or the installation defaults.

DFSORT can change the options due to conflicting specifications or for performance reasons. Some options are not meaningful for all applications (for example, HIPRMAX applies to a sort application, but not to a copy or merge application.)

For information on where the options can be specified and on the order of override, see z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide. Message values for ICE127I through ICE133I are as follows:

x

'Y' for YES; 'N' for NO

n

A decimal value representing bytes

a

'RC16' or 'ABEND'

b

'SYSOUT', or the alternate ddname for the message data set

c

'ALL' for eligible DFSORT modules loaded into LPA; 'NONE' for eligible DFSORT modules not loaded into LPA. DFSORT automatically determines the RESDNT status; you cannot override this status nor specify it as an option.

d

'N' for NO, or (y,n) where y is the dynamic allocation device name and n is a decimal value for the number of data sets

e

'SHORT' , 'FULL' , or 'NO'

f

'COB1' or 'COB2'

g

A decimal value representing the SVC number, or '109A' for SVC 109 using the alternate SVC module

h

EFS program name, or 'NONE'

j

‘MSG', or a decimal value representing the ABCODE number

k

'S' for STRONG; 'W' for WEAK

p

A decimal value representing megabytes, or 'OPTIMAL'

q

‘DFSPARM', or the alternate ddname for the DFSPARM data set

r

A decimal value representing megabytes, or 'MAX'

s

'RC0', 'RC4', or 'RC16'

t

A decimal value representing megabytes
