OK, then I have no idea how to select a particular sort with the SORT command for my CoBOL without using compiler options.

No. But table sorts don't need OO, they just need to be implemented in my compiler.

From: William M. Klein on 14 Jan 2008 11:18 If you actually WANT to tell DFSort or SyntcSort to use a specific type of SORT, then you need to also have one of their special DD cards in your JCL. I could look up some references if you actually want them, but I don't think that (usually) when doing a table sort (on IBM mainframes) the way the same I gave suggested, that this would usually be needed. Let me know if you do want me to look it up. -- Bill Klein wmklein <at> ix.netcom.com "Howard Brazee" <howard(a)brazee.net> wrote in message news:untmo35qb5hma5gea14q4hl1vlsbsuj7m6(a)4ax.com... > On Sat, 12 Jan 2008 00:35:44 GMT, "William M.

(I've tried it) Sounds like the work of source code Nazis! :-) Frank |
