The purpose of an E15/E35 is to let the user supply a routine with customized logic to do whatever the user wants it to do, so it doesn't really make sense to talk about a "standard" E15/E35 routine. Generally, an E15/E35 is used to provide logic to do things that the sort product doesn't have built-in functions for. DFSORT does provide some examples in "z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide", but they are just examples and not meant to be anything "standard". For complete information on DFSORT exits and examples, see: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ICE1CA10/4.0?DT=20050222160456 Note that some products that call DFSORT, such as COBOL, PL/I, DFSORT's ICETOOL, etc, do provide their own exit routines to hook into DFSORT using the standard interfaces for the exits, but the source for these exit routines are not generally made publicly available.
