DSNU044I csect-name ERROR FROM SORT COMPONENT RC=n, UTILITY STOPPED
Explanation
A nonzero return code 'n' was returned from an MVS™ sort. Error messages from sort are printed on the UTPRINT data set.
System action
The executing utility job is placed in the stopped state.
Operator response
An operator with SYSOPR authority can issue the -TERM UTILITY command to release the resources claimed by the stopped utility (this may not be necessary).
User response
Determine the cause of the error. If the error can be corrected, the utility may be restarted from the beginning of the sort phase by using the RESTART(PHASE) option. If the error is such that the utility cannot complete, the -TERM command should be issued to remove the stopped utility from the system. The -TERM utility option should rarely be exercised when the stopped utility is REORG.
Problem determination
This abend is accompanied by abend reason code X'00E40005', and an SVC dump is requested. In most cases, error messages from MVS sort identify the problem and the dump is not needed. If sort is unable to open the UTPRINT data set, only the message and the abend are provided. For example, if the UTPRINT DD statement is omitted, correct the problem with UTPRINT, and resubmit the job.
