A DFSORT stage would/could/should allow all the myriad* DFSORT control statements. And be for heavy lifting. Those are the two reasons I suggested it.
And note a DFSORT stage could be tested outside of a pipeline. Also note Pipelines could orchestrate multiple DFSORT invocations in a chain. Cheers, Martin * If you don’t think the word “myriad” is appropriate RTFM. :-) The point is there’s lots of processing capability there.
