Hello,
In the manual (before the table you posted) is:
Quote:
For optimal PARASORT performance, SyncSort must be able to read each SORTPARn input DD simultaneously, with no channel contention. To ensure this, your system programming staff may have defined special esoteric unit names for use with PARASORT. Before creating a PARASORT application, you should contact your system programmer to verify that this work has been done and that the special names are available for use.
Note, however, that even if the work has been done, certain categories may be unavailable due to limited channel capacity.
To use special esoteric names, do the following:
1. Decide whether you would like to specify 4-way (up to SORTPAR4), 3-way (up to SORTPAR3) or 2-way (up to SORTPAR2) input.
2. In the table of special esoteric names provided by your systems programmer, find the name that corresponds to the tape type of the SORTIN data sets.
The following is a sample table of special esoteric names. This table is for illustration only; the names at your site may be different.
Did you review this with your systems programmer(s)?
**ERROR - DSS4940E - UNABLE TO IDENTIFY UNIT NAME "PARE44 "
the esoteric names You are using are not defined
what was not clear in the syncsort manual quote ??? ...

The Parasort Esoteric Unit Name Table produced by the SYNCLIST report program should provide the available drives.
Seman18,
Please email me offline at alissa.margulies@syncsort.com and send me your SYNCLIST and the complete PARASORT job listing as text attachments and I would be happy to further assist you.

below is what I got through "SYNCLIST"

As I said earlier - Tuning SyncSort is usually application specific and to get you better replies we'll be intrested to see "B" messages, which you have not shown yet. Having said that, your best bet is to get in contact with Alissa (Margulies) with those details on her e-mail ID.
