EXEC

This statement must be in the following form:

//     EXEC PGM=SORT

SORTIN DD

This input data set is the RAPSIN data set created by FABTROOT.

SYSIN DD

This input data set contains DFSORT control statements. The sort parameter is "SORT FIELDS=(1,8,BI,A)."

SORTOUT DD

This output data set contains the sorted records. LRECL must be 42, and BLKSIZE must be a multiple of 42.

SYSOUT DD

This output data set contains the messages produced by DFSORT.

SYSUDUMP DD (or SYSABEND)

This defines output from a system abend dump routine. It is used only for debugging, when a dump is required.

SORTWKnn DD

These are intermediate storage data sets used by DFSORT. See the z/OS® DFSORT Application Programming Guide for more information on how to code SORTWKnn DD statements.
