Tells EREP to
Use a sort table of the specified
size to process the records selected for the report.
The sort
table is EREP’s internal work space, where it arranges the records
into the order required for a given report.
Syntax

- nnnn
- is a 1–4 digit decimal number.

Notes
- EREP requires at least 100KB of virtual storage for its internal
sort table. Depending on the kind of report you are running, and
on the number of records involved, you might have to increase the
sort table size for a single EREP run or for all your EREP reports.
Refer to the following topics in the EREP User's Guide for
information on increasing the table size: MVS
Storage Requirementsand VSE Storage Requirements.
- The approximate maximum practical table size beyond which EREP
may terminate due to insufficient storage is shown in the following
table:

| MVS |

| VM |

- Requests for a table size greater than 3328KB may exceed EREP’s
addressing capability.
