This is a question specific to the SYNCSORT product, not a general SORT question.
I do not have access to question the Syncsort support team, and I cannot see from the latest programmer's guide for the product (Syncsort MFX Programmer's Guide, Version 3.1) what the answer to this question is, so I am asking here for help from anyone already knowledgeable in the product. IBM's DFSORT allows one to specify DD statements JNF1CNTL and JNF2CNTL to enter different sorting parameters for the two JOIN input files. As far as I can tell from both manual reading and from a few practical attempts, SYNCSORT does NOT support those DD statements. How does one perform the DFSORT-equivalent function of JNF1CNTL and JNF2CNTL using SYNCSORT? I.E., how do I enter sorting control statements (INCLUDE/OMIT. INREC, SORT or OPTION COPY, etc.) separately for JOIN files F1 and F2? TIA for any light you can shed on this specific area.
