Would DFSORT at release 1.4 (z/OS 1.4 and I think OS/390 2.10) using 
EQUALS=VBLKSET produce the same results run after run if the input data 
were the same but produce different results when run under DFSORT 1.5 (All 
jobs ran with EQUALS=N)?  I know what EQUALS= does, it's just that the 
results between two parallel runs always matched even back to os/390 2.10 
and now they do not and the difference is in the sequence of duplicate 
records.

If the answer to the above is YES, is there some way to get 1.5 to produce 
the same results as I used to get under 1.4 (I don't know if the duplicate 
records were in input order or not under 1.4 so I don't know that 
EQUALS=YES would get me what I want, just that the two executions would 
always match before)? 

Thank you for your time and assistance,
Greg
