Patrick, I don't think I phrased my question/issue correctly. The batch SAS job dynamically allocates temporary datasets during PROC SQL statement. I need to know how to control the space allocations and/or the LRECL of the datasets (29312), which is just over half of a 3390 track, wasting considerable space. It is also under allocating the space requirement, causing constant SB37 abends. I thought specifying DYNALLOC in the options and pre-allocating SORTWKnn DD statements would do it, but it didn't. Any help you or anyone else in the forum can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Dave Manning
