Problem:
A large Sort is ending abnormally with CASD205E SORT CAP. EXCEEDED.
Cause:
The sort required more than the number of WKXTNTS defined in the Sort Macro
WKXTNTS= The maximum number of extents that may be allocated for SORT work files.
Resolution:
Change WKXTNTS in the SORT macro from the default of 25 to a greater value.
The range is 1 to 255.
