A new SYSIDMS parameter provides control over how CA IDMS interfaces with your external sort program. This feature lets CA IDMS invoke the external sort in an optimal way, and eliminates the need for tailoring sort control statements generated by CA IDMS utilities.
The new SYSIDMS SORT_FIELD_MAX_LEN parameter specifies the maximum field length that your external sort program accepts.
Specifies the maximum sort field length supported by your external sort program.
Default: 256 (z/VSE) and 4092 (other operating systems)
If field-length is less than the value accepted by your sort program, CA IDMS may not be able to optimize its use of external sort. If field-length is greater than the value accepted by your sort program, an error may occur at runtime.
Note: CA IDMS currently utilizes a maximum sort field size of 2000, so there is no advantage in specifying a field length greater than 2000.
