SC23-6879-00

ICE186A
DFSORT CONTINUED AFTER ERROR AND OUTPUT IS USABLE

Explanation

Critical. An error was detected or an abend occurred; however, the sort, copy, or merge was completed successfully. The SORTOUT data was written successfully or an E35 user exit disposed of all of the output records. The SORTOUT data set written by DFSORT was closed successfully.

System action

The program terminates with the abend code.

Programmer response

The SORTOUT data set can be used (provided the system did not delete it) even though the program terminated abnormally. Because of the error, one of the following DFSORT functions was not completed successfully:
  • The writing of final and statistical messages
  • The writing of an SMF record, if appropriate
  • The calling of a termination exit, if present
  • The closing of data sets, releasing of space, and other cleanup functions.
