SORT special registers

The special registers, SORT-CORE-SIZE, SORT-MESSAGE, and SORT-MODE-SIZE, are equivalent to option control statement keywords in the sort control file. You define the sort control data set with the SORT-CONTROL special register.

Usage notes:
  • The SORT special registers are not applicable to sorting a table by using the format 2 SORT statement.
  • If you use a sort control file to specify control statements, the values specified in the sort control file take precedence over those in the special register.
