DFSORT "passes" the exit a number of parameters, which the exit has to understand, act upon, and supply data (record at a time).
If you could "call" REPRO and have it give you a record at a time, that would suffice, but I don't think REPRO has a way of doing that. Can REPRO be other than dataset to dataset? As I said, it would be great if REPRO could pipe to SORTIN.
