Error description

  • Per PMR 94554,379,000.
    
    ================================================================
    Prerequisite - AM54939 for IMU 3.20
    
    Date reported: 12/20/2011
    
    
    Severity: low
    
    Users Affected:
     All IMU users
    
    Problem Description:
     Customer is complaining that Sort Work Fileas required by SORT
     program are not being dynamically allocated.
    
    Problem Summation
     IMU does not support dynamic allocation of SORT Work files.
    
     The standard is to include SORTWK?? files in the JCL. If
     SORTWK?? files are not included in the JCL, the an incore
     SORT is performed.
    
    
    Problem Conclusion:
     SORTWORK=n option was added to EASYTRAN/EZPARAMS options for
     allocating Sort Work files. n = number of SORTWK files to
     allocate.
    
     Valid values are 0 thru 9. Maximum of 9 sort work files are
     allowed. Files are named as SORTWK01...SORTWK09.
    
     Example:
    
     SORTWORK=2,       would result in  SORTWK01 and SORTWK02 to be
     allocated by the generated program.
    
    
    Changed macros in FSOFT01.V3R2M0.SFSYFJCC:
    
     EASYT007 - existing macro
     EASYTRAN - existing macro
     EASYOVRD - existing macro
