32-bit and 64-bit parameter lists

For the E15, E32 and E35 exits, DFSORT supports both a 32-bit parameter list and a 64-bit parameter list. For all of the other exits, DFSORT supports only a 32-bit parameter list.

If you want DFSORT to use the 64-bit parameter list for your E15, E32 or E35, you must call DFSORT with the 64-bit invocation list, and:
  • use a MODS control statement for E15 or E35 with the N64 parameter or
  • set on bit 4 (for E15 or E32) or bit 5 (for E35) of byte 9 in the 64-bit invocation list
Otherwise, DFSORT will use the 32-bit parameter list for your E15, E32 or E35.

See Invoking DFSORT from a program for details of using the 64-bit invocation parameter list.

See the sections that follow on E15, E32 and E35 for complete details on using the 32-bit and 64-bit parameter lists.
