PGMRC16
The PGMRC16 option controls whether a user abend 16 or a return code of 16 will be issued when an unsuccessful sort is program-initiated.
If PGMRC16 is specified and an error is detected, MFX will issue a return code of 16 instead of a user abend 16.
If PGMRC16 is not specified and an error is detected in a program-initiated sort, MFX’s response is determined by the setting of the RC16 option.
JCL-initiated sorts are always handled according to the setting of the RC16 option.
