Example 3
OPTION FILSZ=50,SKIPREC=5,DYNALLOC=3390
SORT FIELDS=(1,2,CH,A),SKIPREC=1,SIZE=200,DYNALLOC=(3380,5)
This example shows how parameters specified on the OPTION control
statement override those specified on the SORT control statement,
regardless of the order of the two statements.
- FILSZ
- DFSORT expects 50 records on the input data set. (Note that there is a difference in meaning between FILSZ and SIZE and that the OPTION specification of FILSZ is used in place of SIZE.)
- SKIPREC
- DFSORT causes five records from the beginning of the input file to be skipped. (SKIPREC=1 on the SORT statement is ignored.)
- DYNALLOC
- DFSORT allocates two work data sets (by default) on an IBM 3390.
- FIELDS
- The control field begins on the first byte of each record in the input data set, is 2 bytes long, contains character data, and is to be sorted in ascending order.
