Keep in mind that the sort work files are 2314 packs, which are low
capacity when compared to moderm pack. (max blksize is about 7k, max
cylinders is 200). You may want to try allocating as many sortwkxx as
you can.    Tape sort work is also an option.

I ending creating more sort work volumes for a total of 8.  I believe
Turnkey is gen'd with a maximum of 32 2314 drives.
