Workfile Sort/Merge (Step 3)

The JCL to merge/sort the logical workfiles produced by the load step is shown below:

Workfile Sort/Merge (Step 3) (z/OS)

// SORT  EXEC  SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=step2.workfile,DISP=OLD,UNIT=TAPE
//SORTOUT DD DSN=step3.workfile,DISP=OLD,UNIT=TAPE
//SORTWK01 DD UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,(n),,CONTIG)
//SORTWK02 DD UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,(n),,CONTIG)
//SORTWK03 DD UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,(n),,CONTIG)
//SYSIN  DD *
SORT  FIELDS=(25,5,BI,A)
/*
//

Note: This step requires that you use your own sort/merge facility.
