Problem Note 2823: Abend S0C4 or S0C1 received in PROC SORT step
In Version 8 of the SAS System it is possible for a PROC SORT step to
abend with either an S0C4 or S0C1. The job ends with a return code of
8, however in the SAS Log, the following error messages appear:
ERROR: Sort did not complete successfully. See messages on the Job
Console Log or //SYSOUT data set.
ERROR: Host sort cannot be used.
Along with these messages, in the SYSOUT data set you may see one of the
following messages:
ICE185A 0 DFSORT TERMINATED WITH S0C1 ABEND DURING PHASE S 1
or:
ICE185A 0 DFSORT TERMINATED WITH S0C4 ABEND DURING PHASE S 1
To correct the problem for Version 8 TSLEVELs M0 or M1, apply zap
Z8002823.
The S0C4 problem is corrected in Release 8.1 TSLEVEL 1M0. The S0C1 is
corrected in SAS System 9, see SAS Note 4435 for additional information.
