OK. Here's my highly Rexx-centric approach. It allocates only one data set
at a time, freeing it to allocate the next one.
It uses no temporary disk files other than what DFSort may use, and I
trust DFSort to do that very wisely.
It invokes IEBGENER for each input data set. I hope that if IEBGENER is
in LPA the overhead is tolerable. And, no, I don't perform a SORT(bubble..)
inside the program. I trust DFSort to do that much better than I could.
Two Rexx EXECs. Invoke the combination with "generpipe | pipesort".
