MFSORT returns 9/007 when sorting large (filemaxsize=8) file

Problem:

MFSORT returns 9/007 when sorting large (filemaxsize=8) file

The TEMP and TMP environment variables are set to C:\\TEMP

Resolution:

The 'C' drive was not an NTFS drive.

Creating a TEMP folder on an NTFS drive and revising the User environment variables for TEMP and TMP to the NTFSdrive:\\TEMP solved the problem.

Note: Sorting a "large" file, MFSORT will be writing files to TMP and or TEMP paths that will require an amount of disk space equal to the size of the file being sorted. Sort files may also be very large as well. Therefore, TEMP and TMP must point to an NTFS drive where there is significant disk space available.
