Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link,
between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had
SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE
ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1
SORTWRK2
SORTWRK3
SORTWRK4.

with SD SORT_FILE
RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS.

In either case, at run time, the system ignored our
SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the
SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does
not recognize the connection? We do not even need the
SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
