SYNCSORT - Abend U0016 - Batch jobs

Batch jobs e.g. RA4$RESA, RA4$DSNA etc. where the SORT is invoked may fail with a user abend U0016.
This is due to the fact that //SORTWKxx files are missing. The user abend is very misleading as such. This problem did not occur by using DFSORT so far.


Please update the JCL where required to include the following DD names:

//SORTWK00 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(15,15),RLSE)
//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(15,15),RLSE)
//SORTWK02 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(15,15),RLSE)
//SORTWK03 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(15,15),RLSE)


The following members(templates) may be affected as no SORTWK00-04 definitions are present:
