Summary :
Sorting large data sets in SAP may lead to terminations such as "EXSORT_FCLOSE_FAILED", "EXSORT_FWRITE_FAILED", or during execution errors like "EXSORT_EXEC_EXEC_MSG". This typically occurs when data sets can’t be sorted internally and the system resorts to external sorting (pre-Release 4.0 routine involving additional files). The use of directories like DIR_SORTTMP or DIR_DATA for storing sort and intermediate result files (e.g., S01FEUSC, stm07532ab) is critical. System crashes often blame inadequate disk space or improper directory configurations. A diagnostic test report (ZEXSORT) is available to simulate and analyze sort behavior and file space utilization.
