
This sort operation requires more than 32 scratch files, and an increase of the
maximum number of extents for the last scratch file would cause the file to exceed
2 GB or 978 extents. FastSort also returns file system error 21 (ILLEGAL count
SPECIFIED).

A file-system error other than 21 occurred when SORTPROG tried to increase the
number of extents for a scratch file.
Recovery. For the first error, use the SCRATCHON or NOSCRATCHON SORT
DEFINE attribute to specify additional scratch volumes. For the second error, follow the
recovery recommendations in the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual
for the file-system error code returned with the FastSort error code.
