Resolution
The sort step is randomly failing due to the following option setting in the macro options.
OUTFILE(N/)
Produces a null file when a file defined as an
output file does not write any records. This
allows subsequent steps referring to this file
to proceed normally. The default is N.
Recommend that this be changed to OUTFILE=Y This will show up in the job output as OUTFILE(N/Y)
The jobs will then run normally.
This is documented in the Vision Results Reference Summary page 99
Use the install job CUSTMJCL to make the required changes. The requirement for this step is documented in the Install Guide on page 45 - Task 4B. Customize the Compile and Run Time Parameters in DYLINSTL Macro
