Sort.pub.sys is a CM program on my 7.0 system.  I am not sure that NMSTACK
will have any effect on it.  I would instead look at MAXDATA and perhaps
even NOCB, though I do not think the latter will do much good here, but it
couldn't hurt.

I seem to remember that MAXDATA can be up to 32,767, but that for some
reason you wanted to specify something just a bit smaller, like 32760 or
something like that.  It escapes me, but this was decades ago.

So, if all else fails, I would try RUN SORT.PUB.SYS;MAXDATA=32760;NOCB

Try NMSTACK=
