Can anyone suggest me how to solve the abend S000 U4088.
I often get this abend while running sort program in cobol.

Hi,

Couple of things -

1. Please post the SYSOUT with the statements telling about what were you trying to do? If can post JCL as well, it's good to get answers.

2. When you post very first post in the forum, there is a system generated message will be placed in the body of the thread, you are supposed to remove that & write a good decription of your problem..

the problem was really a 4078, but the system rounded the error code up to a 4088.

HI,

Here is the sysout for that abend

Hello,

There is additional diagnostic info that has not been posted. Please post the additional diagnostic info. Please post the jcl for this step also.

If the sort was invoked, there will be some messages created by the sort.

If some sysout dd statement was not in the jcl, there would be a "dd statement missing" message in the output.

The module name is CEEBINIT so this is a Language Environment 4088. The manual indicates a 4088 means a storage condition occurred while processing a storage condition. Post the full JESMSGLG to show the memory allocated to the step; you probably need to bump up the memory in your JCL to get the step to run. Remember when calling SORT from COBOL you'll need additional memory above and beyond your COBOL need.

please clarify a bit...

You posted twice with different wording,
but with exactly the same sysout snippet,
in one post You were telling about cobol+sort in the other one only about sort

I find hard to believe that different programs would produce the same abend
with the same register content
are You running a plain sort or a cobol program invoking sort ?
I hope You did not name Your program sort
