Sort UtilityThis document contains the few control statements, we have discussed during the session with examples.

The given files are the input files used in all the below given examples

In above example, we can use OUTREC instead of INREC,

INREC adds, deletes, or reformats fields before the records are sorted or merged. so that performance will be improved

OUTREC adds, deletes, or reformats fields after the records are sorted or merged.

SUM FIELDS:

//STEP009 EXEC PGM=SORT,REGION=0M //SORTIN DD DSN=SAMPLE.INPUT,DISP=SHR //SORTOUT DD DSN= SAMPLE.OUTPUT9, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // SPACE=(TRK,(01,01),RLSE), // UNIT=SYSDA //SORTXSUM DD DSN= SAMPLE.OUTPUT9, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // SPACE=(TRK,(01,01),RLSE), // UNIT=SYSDA //SYSIN DD *

Here, SUM FIELDS=NONE means it will eliminate duplicates XSUM options will copy all records eliminated in sort process will copy to

another data set defined in SORTXSUM step
