The abend aid message is as follows:

Hello,

You will need to post more details if someone here is going to be able to help.

Posting the jcl and the messages in the spool is a good start. Information on what the application program is doing in a technical sense would be good also - does it invoke the sort, does it invoke any of the standard utilities, does it invoke any site-specific utility functions? Is it a new piece of code or was it working previously? If it worked previously, was anything changed either in the main program or anything it calls?

We'll be here when you post some more info
