Problem Note 32089: Sort spill file conflict causes various "not sorted" messages

Referencing a data set that is sorted with a BY statement (but the sort is not validated) may produce messages like the following:

   ERROR: BY variables are not properly sorted on data set libref.member.

or:

   ERROR: Data set libref.member is not sorted in ascending sequence.

This problem is caused by incorrect sharing of sort spill files by multiple threads, and is corrected in SPD Server Release 4.4 TS M5.

Product Family	Product	System	Product Release		SAS Release
