SORTOPT control statement
The SORTOPT statement specifies SORT parameters to be appended to the SORT OPTION statement of all the sorts that are started by an IMS Index Builder job.
The SORTOPT statement is optional.
Tip: To specify parameters that are longer than 33 characters,
consider using the DFSPARM data set instead of using the SORTOPT statement.
The DFSPARM DD statement can be specified in the IMS
Index Builder JCL and the subordinate
address space procedure.
- SORTOPT
- Is a keyword specifying that this is SORTOPT statement. You can specify only one SORTOPT statement.
- sort_parms
- Is a string of sort option parameters that are separated
by commas or blanks. The string is appended, unchanged, to the SORT
OPTION statement that is generated by IMS
Index Builder. The maximum length
of the string is 33 characters, and the entire string must be on one
line. You can use this string to specify performance options or to
override installation settings. For example:
MAINSIZE=MAX,MOSIZE=MAX,DYNSPC=512
