This is something that has puzzled me for years. Can anyone explain the following.
I can use ISPF 3.4 to display a set of data sets. If I scroll right then I am shown the space usage figures. Scroll right again and I am shown the DSORG, RECFM, Lrecl and Blksize. If I now enter SORT DSORG I am presented with a progress bar and I am informed that information is being collected to perform the sort. Given that the DSORG was already displayed, why does ISPF go and collect the same information again? Lennie Dymoke-Bradshaw ‘Dance like no one is watching.
