SORT or MERGE operation failed before end - SORTMERGE message follows
Cause
At the end of the execution of a SORT or MERGE operation, the FastSort utility returned an error.
The message from FastSort follows on the next line.

145
SORT or MERGE operation failed at start - SORTMERGE message follows
Cause
At the start of the execution of a SORT or MERGE operation, the FastSort utility returned an error.
The second line of the message is the text of the SORT error message returned by the FASTSORT
procedure SORTERRORSUM.
The third line is
Sort error code = mm - System error code = nn
where mm is the SORT error code defined in the FastSort Manual, and.nn is the high-order 2
bytes of the error code return defined for SORTERRORSUM.
If the sort was a subsort, this text is appended to the message:
- Subsort index = oo, CPU,id = pp,qq
where oo is the subsort-index defined in the FastSort Manual under SORTERRORSUM,
and pp,qq is the subsort-id defined in the FastSort Manual under SORTERRORSUM.
For some errors, one or more of these lines appear:
Error on following USING file file-name
Error on following GIVING file file-name
Error on following scratch file file-name
Error on the internal scratch file
Error on the internal free list file
Error in interprocess communication
where file-name is the name of the file where the error occurred. For “Error on following
scratch file,” file-name is the one in the SELECT for the sort-merge file description.
Effect
The run unit terminates abnormally.
