Do you know if DFSORT supports allocating SORTIN and SORTOUT to UNIX pipes (FIFOs)? The book mentions UNIX files, but not "named pipes" (FIFOs). That might be an interesting way to emulate the INPUT and OUTPUT procedure facility that the COBOL SORT verb has, rather than trying to implement the equivalent of the E15 and E35 exit points in C. -- There is nothing more pleasant than traveling and meeting new people!
