Apparently, the specification of format (or at least CH) on Syncsort JOINKEYS
is optional.
I don't have it specified in another job that has been working for some time.

True, don't know what I was thinking :)
Shouldn't have started w/ pax.
Wanted to say, unmount, DFDSS, etc.
Anyway, if there are easier ways..

Hello ,
I have put together this set of SORT control statements to scan through an
IEBPTPCH dump of a JCL or PROC PDS.
The DFSORT statements will look for any JOB Steps that execute program
DMBATCH (this is an NDM Program).
The statements will gather up some DD Statement information related to the

To have the spawns be local (same address space), you simply need to set

Not FTP, but ssh:

Unfortunately NO. The other product had to introduce the formats for
compensating the rich functionality of JNF1CNTL and JNF2CNTL in DFSORT.
DFSORT gives you the entire INREC formatting with JNF1
I've used
pax to archive (aka zip/tar) => transmit => unpax
and for a whole File System
dfDSS copy of FS to archive => transmit => restore FS
Transmit can mean FTP of the intermediate file or using a shared volume
For routine copies, one could include a job routed (via jes) to the other
system to
Thank you. Mos of our "fancy" sort stuff is mine, so I can make these changes.
But, and this is just asking, not really expecting. For compatibility and
migration purposes, is there a way for DFSORT to accept this specification?
I have 4 LPARs. This job runs in 3 of them. 2 still run Syncsort.
Andrew,
Your performance work in this area is very interesting to me. I would love
to hear more if you ever write up your findings, even informally. We had
a customer a few years ago who seem to have performance problems with
fork/execs related to BPXAS address space startups. IBM worked on
And nobody has mentioned that pax will write or read an MVS file so you are not
restricted to Open MVS for the intermediate files.
Regards.

A pipe is your friend. Why should you need disk space other than for
the source and the target, which I suspect you don't intend to compress?

Your file looks like it is json. You will also need to remove the square

Always in support of the OLD flat file system..seen the need to help roll into

But over the years it has become reversed .Problem dealing with the OLD style
MS/Unix style systems.
And the problem dealing with the OMVS systems locking up and causing the z/OS

Dave,
DFSORT Joinkeys does not require the FORMAT of the key field as a binary
match is done implicitly.
So change your control cards to the following(Just removed the CH on the
Fields statement)
JOINKEYS FILE=F1,FIELDS=(1,9,A),TYPE=F
JOINKEYS FILE=F2,FIELDS=(6,9,A),
31 matches
