Rahul's answer is correct.

Please note that the W-NUM is defined as PIC 9, hence it
can contain only a single digit numberic number i.e from
number 0 to number 9. Thus when the PARA-X is executed 9
times when W-NUM contains 9. It will not be able to add
further 1 to W-NUM, thus it will go in a infinite loop.

Hope this clear things.

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
