Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The ddname of the DFSORT message data set gets changed into each
  ddname which corresponds to the task.
  SYSOUT is currently used as the ddname, so all DFSORT
  messages are written to the SYSOUT DD.

  ****************************************************************
  When running DFSORT in FPA, DFSORT uses SYSOUT DD to output
  DFSORT messages. Under the multi task environment, the plural
  DFSORT tasks put messages to SYSOUT DD. For that reason, SYSOUT
  DD has mixed messages from the plural DFSORT tasks.
  

Problem conclusion

• FPA is modified to specify the MSGDDN keyword parameter of
  DFSORT control card. Therefore DFSORT messages are written
  every DFSORT task.
