  Message:      RT220
 
  Text:         Attempt to execute more than one SORT or MERGE
                simultaneously
 
  Severity:     Fatal
 
  Explanation:  You have coded your program in such a way that it is
                attempting to execute more than one SORT or MERGE
                operation at the same time.  For example, you may have
                coded a SORT statement in the input or output
                procedure of another SORT statement, an operation that
                is specifically prohibited under the rules of ANSI
                COBOL.
 
  Resolution:   You will have to recode your program to ensure that it
                does not execute more than one SORT or MERGE at any
                one time.
