Shinto,
Enrico is correct. A U0027 indicates DFSORT issued message ICE027A. With ERET=RC16 (the shipped default), you get a RC=16. With ERET=ABEND, you get an ABEND with the message number.
If you look at the //SYSOUT messages, you should see message ICE027A.
Here's a link to the doc for that message:
I have gone through links specifying the details- but still last week the job was executting with out any issues. I didn't change anything to the JCL.
i am pasting some of the messages from the sysout -

Well, based on those messages, I'd say it isn't DFSORT that's issuing the U0027 ABEND - it's the program that called DFSORT. If DFSORT was issuing ICE027A, you would NOT get the message:
ICE185A AN U0027 ABEND WAS ISSUED BY DFSORT, ANOTHER PROGRAM OR AN EXIT (PHASE S 1)
that you showed in your first post (I didn't notice that the first time).
So it appears whatever program is calling DFSORT is issuing the U0027 ABEND, not DFSORT, and it is NOT associated with message ICE027A.
You need to identify the program that is issuing the U0027 ABEND and determine what it means when that program issues it.
