Re: Has anyone replaced ca-sort with ibm sort recently? any issues?
Hi Kurt, We have recently migrated two sites from CA-Sort to DF/Sort. The only real issues you can run up against are when the site decides to use the sort exits because they are not compatible. Other than that, they are fairly interchangeable. We probably do 10 or more of these migrations a year, between DF/Sort, Syncsort and CA-Sort, they normally go quite simply, and even when exits are involved it's a snap for us to replace.

Re: Has anyone replaced ca-sort with ibm sort recently? any issues?
We migrated to DFSORT from CA-Sort a year ago. One of the issues we faced was the different translation table used to by CA-Sort to collate EBCDIC as ASCII. We had to setup a translation table in DFSORT which behaved the way CA-Sort's did. A special thanks goes to Frank Yaeger and his team for their support in answering our queries.

The only real issues you can run up against are when the site decides to use the sort exits because they are not compatible. I talked to Brian offline about this because I wasn't sure what he meant about the exits and wanted to get clarification. He's actually referring to some add-on products CA supplies that are built as exits. If you use those add-on products, you may or may not have to make changes - the DFSORT Team can tell you if you contact us and let us know what add-on product you're using. As for the normal exits you'd write yourself (e.g. E15), AFAIK the interfaces for those are the same and you wouldn't have to change anything.
