Using the defaults with which it was delivered, DFSORT issues message ICE158A to the console, and terminates with either a return code of 20 or a user abend code of 158 (depending on the ERET, ABEND, or NOABEND option in effect at run-time). You can change the installation default value with the NOMSGDD installation option to allow DFSORT to continue even when a required message data set is not supplied. If you do not receive any DFSORT messages, make sure that you supply a message data set, and resubmit your job using a SORTDIAG DD statement with a DUMMY parameter. The SORTDIAG DD statement specifies that all messages, including diagnostic messages (ICE800I through ICE999I), and control statements be printed. You can provide either a SYSOUT DD statement or a DDNAME DD statement (where DDNAME is the alternate message data set ddname specified at installation or execution time with MSGDDN=ddname). For example:

control statements in the message data set. For example:
