A order of sorting
SORT is used to sort the data in asending or diseding order. by using sort we can copy
data from one file to another file. by using some fields=none
SORT is a utility i.e The program name maybe SYNCSORT or DFSORT that IBM
provides which can do so many useful operations on a flat file..like sorting the file based
on a particular condition,
eliminate duplicates, extract some selective fields into another file in the required order
and the listgoes on.To eliminate duplicates, we can use as below.
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
SUM FIELDS=NONE
END
You can use "include condition" along with "sort fields" to select desired records..the
code goes like this...
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(<give sort condition here>)
INCLUDE COND=(<give the required condition here>)
END
In these cases, the SORT utility accepts one or more input files and produces an output
file which will contain the desired records.. The IBM standard syntax of the sort
command is given below..SORT FIELDS={begcol},{length},{fieldtype},{D|A}[,
{begcol}, {length},{fieldtype},{D|A}
INCLUDE COND={begcol1},{length1},{fldtype1},{comp.oper},{begcol2},{length2},
{fldtype2}Hope you got something from this explanation..
