My guess is that somebody is deleting a record out of CMFILE between the
time the sort starts and the time the record is read.
1:00 HSORTA selects 30009 records from CMFILE
3:00 RPG program begins reading records
3:05 User deletes record from CMFILE
3:10 RPG program reaches the address of the deleted CMFILE record
3:10 Program falls over.

The RECORDS parameter sets up the maximum number of records for the output
file; it does not initialise them to "deleted" so you have no worries there.
