  Text:         File-names illegally specified in same SAME SORT
                (-MERGE) AREA clause
 
  Explanation:  Two files in a SORT or MERGE statement are defined as
                sharing the same sort (-merge) area.  The files will
                be allocated different sort-merge areas.
