I can't use any of the more complex syntaxes, as this code must be able to run on both IBM z/OS and Micro Focus. Apologies if I've broken any formatting rules.
I ran it with SAVE, and DEBUG, but am none the wiser. Neither output file contains any records.
Interestingly (?) if the output files are directed to SYSOUT, both files contain all input records, sorted into sequence. Presumanly, when directed to datasets, the records are also initially written, but the datasets are closed and then re-opened for output, resulting in empty datasets.
In either case, the messages indicate that DFSORT recognised that there were no records output, despite the use of SAVE.

First of all: try running your SORT from batch, to be sure your SORT statements, and your DD statements are OK, and there is no misunderstanding between yourself, and SORT utility.

And I could probably use input/output procedures, but that's just a workaround. I guess it's a bug in DFSORT, but I believe that my customer has got the combination (Cobol+SORT+OUTFIL) working, although I'm waiting for confirmation, and whether they are using DFSORT or SYSNCSORT.
