Basic Points

The first byte of every fixed-length record is position 1, the second byte position 2, and so on.

Bytes 1 through 4 of variable-length records are reserved for the Record Descriptor Word (RDW). For these records, the first byte of the data portion is position 5.

When proper processing depends on data format, the format of the field must be specified.

The format of the field must be appropriate to the task. For example, only numeric fields can be SUMmed.

When all the fields have the same format, the format value can be specified just once through the FORMAT=f subparameter. The FORMAT=f subparameter cannot be used when the INCLUDE/OMIT parameter is specified on the OUTFIL control statement.

Identify a comment card image by placing an asterisk (*) in column 1. Comments can extend through column 80.

To add a comment to a control statement card image, leave one or more blanks after the last parameter or comma on the image and follow with the comment, which can extend through column 71.

Comment lines can be inserted between a control statement and its continuation by coding an asterisk (*) in column one.

COL. 72 ↓SORT FIELDS=(1,10,A,20,5,A,45,7,A),FORMAT=CH,STOPAFT=100, *COMMENT EQUALS

In the above example, no continuation character is required. The control statement is interrupted after a parameter-comma combination before column 72.

COL. 16 COL.72 ↓ ↓OUTFIL OUTREC=(1:10,8,30:40,10),HEADER2=(1:'CUSTOMER NUMBX ER',30:'ITEM NUMBER')

In this example, a continuation character is necessary because the literal string in the HEADER2 specification would extend beyond column 71. The 'X' in column 72 is the continuation character. The literal string is continued in column 16 of the next card image.

STOPAFT

STOPAFT ParmSTOPAFT=n

STOPAFT=n (a decimal number) sorts/copies at most n records.

These will be the first n records after any input processing due to an E15, an INCLUDE/OMIT statement, or the SKIPREC parameter.

If STOPAFT=n has been specified on the SORT control statement as well as in the PARM field, the PARM specification will take precedence.

//SORT EXEC PGM=SORT,PARM=‘STOPAFT=100' or SORT FIELDS=COPY,STOPAFT=100

First 100 records will be taken and remaining records will be skipped. These 100 will be send to next control of SORT for processing.

SKIPREC

SKIPREC ParmSKIPREC=n

SKIPREC=n instructs the sort to skip a decimal number n of records beforesorting/copying the input file.

The records skipped are deleted from the input file before E15 and INCLUDE/OMIT processing is begun.

If SKIPREC=n has been specified on the SORT control statement as well as in the PARM field, the PARM specification will take precedence.

//SORT EXEC PGM=SORT,PARM='SKIPREC=100' or SORT FIELDS=COPY,SKIPREC=100

First 100 records will be skipped and remaining records will be send to SORT for processing.

The INREC control statement reformats the input records.

Use the INREC control statement to add, delete, or reformat fields before the records are sorted or merged.

Except for CONVERT, all the functions performed by the OUTREC control statement, such as inserting character strings or changing the data format of a numeric field, can also be performed by the INREC control statement.

Note: that INREC is performed after E15 exit processing and INCLUDE/OMIT control statement processing.

Using JOIN you can extract and sort data from two different files. One file point to SORTJNF1 other point to SORTJNF2. The join files do not need to be presorted on the fields specified on the JOINKEYS statement. By default, SyncSort will sort the records to the propersequence before performing the join operation.

The FIELDS parameter is required. It describes the fields to be used to match records from the two files, SORTJNF1 and SORTJNF2. The number of JOINKEYS fields and their lengths and sorted order (A or D) must be the same for both files, although their starting positions need not be the same.

Each JOINKEYS field may be anywhere within the record through column 32750,the maximum length of a field is 4080 bytes, and the sum of all fields on a JOINKEYS statement cannot exceed 4080 bytes. For variable-length records, any JOINKEYS fields that are completely or partially missing will be padded with binary zeros when performing the comparison.

The SUM control statement specifies that, whenever two records are found with equal sort control fields, the contents of their summary fields are to be added, the sum is to be placed in one of the records and the other record is to be deleted.

If the EQUALS option is in effect the first record of summed records is kept.

If the NOEQUALS option is in effect, the record to be kept is unpredictable.

The DUPKEYS control statement deletes all records with duplicate SORT controlfields and optionally replaces specified numeric fields in the retained records with calculated sum, minimum, maximum, or average values from all records with equal control fields.

The deleted records can optionally be written to a separate output file (using XDUP).

MODS (EXIT module…)

MODS E15=(E15COBOL,9999,MODLIB,C), E35=(E35COBOL,999999,STEPLIB,C)

An E15 exit is the first exit routine. E15COBOL is the member name of the routine,which requires 9999 bytes in main storage and resides in a library referenced by the DDstatement named MODLIB. The routine does not require link-editing.

An E35 exit is the third exit routine. E35COBOL is the member name of the routine,which requires 999999 bytes in main storage and resides in a library referenced by the DDstatement named STEPLIB. This routine is a COBOL exit which has been link-editedbefore execution time.

C The C value identifies a COBOL exit routine. COBOL exits must be link-edited before execution time. Only COBOL E15 and E35 exits can be specified.

E The E value identifies a C exit routine. C exits must be link-edited before execution time. Only C E15 and/or E35 exits can be specified.

X The X value identifies a REXX exit routine. Only REXX E15 and E35 exits can be specified.

You can name the referenced DD name as you wish (MODLIB / STEPLIB / RKLIB …)

OUTREC

Use the OUTREC control statement to add, delete, or reformat fields after the records are sorted or merged.

Including CONVERT, all the functions performed by the INREC control statement, such as inserting character strings or changing the data format of a numeric field, can also be performed by the OUTREC control statement.

Note: that OUTREC is performed before E35 exit processing.

OUTFIL

The OUTFIL control statement describes the output file(s). It is required to accomplishthese three tasks:

Create multiple output files. The OUTFIL parameters associated with this task areCONVERT, ENDREC, FILES, FNAMES, FTOV, INCLUDE/OMIT, NULLOFL,OUTREC, REPEAT, SAMPLE, SAVE, SPLIT, SPLITBY, SPLIT1R, STARTREC,VLFILL, and VLTRIM.

Use the Sort Writer facility. The OUTFIL parameters associated with this task areHEADER1, HEADER2, LINES, NODETAIL, REMOVECC, SECTIONS, TRAILER1,and TRAILER2.

Reformat records after E35 processing. The OUTFIL parameter associated with thistask is OUTREC.

Accessing DB2 table

You can access DB2 tables using SORT. But you can issue only SELECT statement.

//SORT EXEC PGM=SYNCSORT,PARM='DB2=D2P2' //STEPLIB DD DSN=SYS.DMSS.DB2D2P2.SDSNLOAD,DISP=SHR //SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTDBIN DD * SELECT ACRONYM, TRANS_CD_CLASS, TRANS_CD_TYPE, TRANS_CD_SUBTYPE, TRANS_CD_PRORATE, REVENUE_CD, REVENUE_TEXT FROM CSGDB2A.BTA3_TRANS_REV WHERE ACRONYM = 'CBP'; /* //SYSIN DD * SORT FIELDS=COPY /* //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
