  When the input and output files used by SORT use different
  LRECL values, the Analyze phase fails when SORT returns a
  return code 4 RC=4.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem has been resolved.  Any non-zero return codes will be
  reported and processing continues if possible. The LRECL for
  the SORT output file is changed from 16384 to 16800.
