I am using internal sort. Job is hanging every time I run. I had to kill the job every time. I am seeing the following message after I kill it. Same job running in production but it's not in development.

+WER999A $0000DEV,AAABBB , - UNSUCCESSFUL SORT 13E S

I have tried using more spaces in SORTWKXX

I have tried using
//$ORTPARM DD *
VSCORE=512K
/*

I have tried using REGION=0K

Please let me know if there is any fix?

read the syncsort manual abut the meaning of the message

WER999A $0000DEV,AAABBB , - UNSUCCESSFUL SORT 13E S

and if the meaning is what I suspect - just reporting an abend
investigate the possible reasons for it - looks like a S13E abend ( I might be wrong )

looking at the messages manual is the first route to go, and proceed from there
