Hello DFSort experts!
Where can I find the explanation of SORTWK space usage? I seem to recall
reading that only the primary space is used on a SORTWK, so if I have
//SORTWK DD SPACE=(CYL,(5000,2000))...
I will only get the primary space of 5000 cylinders, and the other
14x2000 cylinders is never used. Is that right?
Is there a written explanation I can forward to the programmers so they
understand this?
Also (since I know it will come), is there any good way to calculate how
much DASD sortwork would be used? I know this depends on what is in
memory at the time, but want to get a better handle on how Sort
determines what it needs.
Thanks, everyone! This might be a good discussion!
