There was an internal call for Sort but it did not produce a program name.

DBO8907I INVOKING SORT UTILITY.
DBO8915E UNABLE TO LOAD THE SORT UTILITY.
Even though it does say "SORT" it's hard to tell if it's IBM sort or Syncsort being called but according to Syncsort it hasn't made a call to Syncsort and since this is an internal program call it's the vendor with the program call. We on the other hand have two sorts running, IBM's DFSORT and Syncsort.
For clarification, why can't the CA IMS-Tools Data Base Organizer provide the PGM by name, rather than just by SORT?
With regards to providing the PGM by name, rather than just by SORT, this is not possible. We cannot distinguish between various vendors’ sorts. In our code we specify:
LINK PGM=SORT. It then depends on steplib, linklib etc. which utility gets loaded.
If the enhancement for the additonal DBOxxxxI message and related abend code details is something you think would be useful, then could you open this as an Idea on the CA Community for the CA IMS Database Tools.
https://communities.ca.com/community/ca-database-management-for-db2-and-ims/content?filterID=contentstatus%5Bpublished%5D~category%5Bims-tools%5D
The Idea can then be reviewed and commented on by the User Community and also the Product Management team.
