Hi Please suggest me what went wrong with my job.
I am getting an abend of U0016.
Here are the details.
Code:

//SORT     EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTLIB  DD DSN=SYSTEM.SORTLIB,DISP=SHR                             
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSLST   DD  SYSOUT=*                                             
//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,(15,2),RLSE)                     
//SORTIN   DD  DSN=SMANDAP.INPUT.TEST,DISP=OLD             
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=SMANDAP.OUTPUT.TEST,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),     
//         DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=100,BLKSIZE=1900),                   
//         SPACE=(CYL,(15,2),RLSE),UNIT=DISK                         
//SYSIN    DD  *                                                     
 SORT FIELDS=(15,9,A,24,2,A,13,1,A,31,2,A,82,3,A,37,3,A,9,4,A,91,4,A,
              28,3,A,71,1,A,7,2,A,26,2,A),                           
              FORMAT=CH                                             
 SUM FIELDS=(73,09,ZD)

Long ago I used to have a U0016 often and mostly a wrong recordlength was the cause.

Code:
WER049A  SUM FIELD OVERFLOW

To avoid overflow, you need to incresse the length of the field that you are summing using the INREC option and then SUM them up.
Note: this may end up in increasing your o/p file length.

OR

make sure that your SUM value never crosses 999,999,999.

From the manuals......

If arithmetic overflow or underflow occurs during the summing of two records, those
records are not summarized and neither record is deleted. Further processing is
determined by the option selected at installation through the SUMOVFL parameter or
the run time parameter OVFLO. If the RC16 option of this parameter has been
selected, processing will terminate with a WER049A critical error. For the RC0 (the
delivered default) or the RC4 option, sum processing will continue and a WER049I
message will be issued (only for the first occurrence). If a subsequent pair of records
with equal control fields can be summarized without causing overflow or underflow,
they will be summarized. To avoid arithmetic overflow, use the INREC control
statement to insert zeros of the proper format immediately before the sum field. For
example, for a PD field, use nZ to insert binary zeros.
