The best possible soultion would be to use DYNALLOC. You can allocate upto 252 work data sets dynamically. Refer this post

Correction: The number of SORTWK data sets that can potentially be allocated is 255.

Bill,

I think Abin was suggesting that the RETRY subparameter of the DYNALLOC runtime PARM was a better alternative to changing the DYNALOC installation option. Just my guess...
