Re: SORT and FILE STATUS
Rick gave the correct answer for the SD file itself. It is worth noting,
however, that one MAY specify a File Status clause for the Input/Output files.
In fact, this is exactly why IBM says that using the FASTSRT compiler option
(where their non-COBOL SORT utility does the I/O) is *not* ANSI/ISO conforming.
They do NOT update the FS (or more importantly reach I/O Declaratives) if there
is an I/O "problem" with Input/Output files during a SORT (without an
Input/Output procedure) when FASTSRT is in effect. They DO conform to the
Standard when NOFASTSRT is specified.

Is FILE STATUS legal with a SORT file ?
Can't see anywhere in the standard that says it is not.
If so, when and under what conditions should the file
status be set in combination with the SORT/USING/GIVING/RELEASE/RETURN
statments.
The chapter 9.1.12 I-O status only refers to usual I/O statements.
