SORTUADCON System Option
System Options under z/OS SORTUNIT= System Option 511

Default: SORTUADCON
Valid in: configuration file, SAS invocation, OPTIONS statement, OPTIONS window
Category: Sort: SORT
PROC OPTIONS GROUP= SORT
z/OS specifics: all
Syntax
SORTUADCON | NOSORTUADCON
SORTUADCON
specifies that the host utility supports passing a user address constant to the E15/
E35 exits.
NOSORTUADCON
specifies that the host sort utility does not support passing a user address constant to
the E15/E35 exits.
SORTUNIT= System Option
Specifies the unit of allocation for sort work files
Default: CYLS
Valid in: configuration file, SAS invocation, OPTIONS statement, OPTIONS window
Category: Sort: SORT
PROC OPTIONS GROUP= SORT
z/OS specifics: all
Syntax
SORTUNIT=CYL | TRK | BLK | n
CYL
specifies that the units be cylinders. The space calculation for cylinder allocations
requires that the characteristics of the device on which the allocations will be made
need to be known. The device type is specified with the SORTDEV= option. The
device type should be specified as generic, such as 3390, rather than esoteric, such as
DISK. This is because when an esoteric name is specified, it is impossible to predict
what device type will be used and thus the device characteristics will also be
unknown.
