Question:

 

How do I trace a sort that is abending?

Answer:

Add OPTION DIAG

Internal SORT, means SORT called in an application program:

// JOB SORT
// OPTION SYSPARM='DIAG'     << activating trace     
.
// DLBL/TLBL/ASSGN  statements
.
// EXEC program
.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
External SORT, means execution with EXEC SORT:
// JOB SORT
.
// DLBL / TLBL / ASSGN
// EXEC SORT
.
SORT FIELDS=... ....
RECORD TYPE= 
INPFIL BLKSIZE=.....                       
OUTFIL BLKSIZE=.....
OPTION DIAG,PRINT=ALL                  << activating trace     
END
