Yes, it was not 'coded' correctly. Someone did it for you (see the red note). Like I said, do 'preview' in the future.
DFSORT did not even know about your OUTFILs to issue any error. You can allocate any random data set in your JCL with DDnames - //SORTOF01 //SORTOF02 or //RANDOM or whatever. If you have the allocation parameters right, you will have it created successfully. So there is no question of failure/warning.
On the other hand, if you have a control card with the OUTFIL FILES/FNAMES coded correctly (with no embedded //*), and if you miss the corresponding DDnames in your JCL, then DFSORT will issue an error. Not the other way around.
