Sorry about the late reply. The last time I seriously looked, the COBOL sort verb invoked the installation sort (DFsort, SYNCSORT,). The COBOL program effectively became the E15/E35 sort exits. On that basis, I would not expect any significant difference in CPU time consumed, *AND* as

I was delighted to learn---authoritatively from Chris Blaicher---that SYNCSORT no longer makes routine use of BSAM or QSAM to read/write its sortin/sortout datasets. His point that there are no generic, one-size-fits-all solutions is also important. It conceded, my own experience nevertheless

It has been suggested to management here that there could be potentially significant CPU savings from re-engineering application programs such that any SORT's are done in a separate step, so that a program with a single internal SORT would be broken up into a pre-SORT process followed by an

The scheme you are considering is---if I understand it---that of read prepin==|preprocess|==write sortin read sortin==|external sort|==write sortout read sortout==|postprocess|==write postout It involves six i/o operations per record, and it thus has little to recommend it. If instead you use
