I have 10 files with the same layout and all must be sorted using the same sort criteria.
Each file must be sorted into its own separate output file. Is it possible to put this SORT into one step instead of creating 10 separate steps? On a glance through some sort documentation I was THINKIN I could use SORTINnn in some manner but according to the doc this is used for MERGE only. I was thinking something like //SORT001 EXEC PGM=SORT,REGION=4096K,PARM='CORE=MAX' //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN01 DD DSN=INPUT.NUMBER1,DISP=SHR //SORTIN02 DD DSN=INPUT.NUMBER2,DISP=SHR //SORTIN03 DD DSN=INPUT.NUMBER3,DISP=SHR //... //SORTOF01 DD DSN=OUTPUT.NUMBER1,DISP=OLD //SORTOF02 DD DSN=OUTPUT.NUMBER1,DISP=OLD //SORTOF03 DD DSN=OUTPUT.NUMBER1,DISP=OLD //... //SORTWK01 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(15,1)) //SORTWK02 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(15,1)) //SORTWK03 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(15,1)) //SYSIN DD * SORT FIELDS=(10,12,A),FORMAT=CH Thanks for any ideas.
