Considerations

The SORT statement is optional. If omitted, CA JARS Wizard processes records in the same order that they are read from the input file.

If the OPTION = parameter is specified, it must be separated from the last field name in the sort list by at least two blanks.

A SORT statement is required in any run that has a BREAK statement if the file is not in sequence. The data field names can be omitted if they are the same as those in the BREAK statement.

Example:

SORT
BREAK JOB NAME, STEP NAME

The SORT statement in this example is equivalent to one that reads SORT JOB NAME, STEP NAME.
