Resolution/Workaround:

This isa sort problem. There seems to be too much data to handle. Here are the options to get around the sort problem:

1-Extend the amount and volume of sort work datasets on DYNSORT statement.

2- If option 1 doesn't help, run few shorter ranges separately.

 3-If the first 2 options are unsuccessful, try to find another way to limit the data like using additional filter say for a particular user.
