  Message:      RT223
 
  Text:         SORT/MERGE error:  see status key
 
  Severity:     Fatal
 
  Explanation:  You have attempted a SORT/MERGE operation which has
                been unsuccessful for some reason. You may have had too
                many files open when you attempted a SORT/MERGE operation,
                or the file which you are trying to access may be locked.
 
                Alternatively, you have set the TMP environment variable
                to point to a directory that does not exist.
 
  Resolution:   The action you should take depends on the situation in
                which it occurs.
 
                Either set TMP to point to a directory that does exist, or
                unset TMP.
