Error Message
179 ISAM error: No free disk space for sort.
Error Details
While performing a sort, the database server did not find enough contiguous free disk space to create necessary temporary files. You might have insufficient disk space and need to make more disk space available before you run the program again. You might have made an error when you specified the names of temporary dbspaces in DBSPACETEMP or directory names in PSORT_DBTEMP. Check the spelling of your temporary space names as specified in DBSPACETEMP. If you specified multiple temporary dbspaces, check that you used colons (:) or commas (,) as delimiters.
