Hi,

BUILD: Reformat each record by specifying all of its items one by one. Build gives you complete control over the items you want in your reformatted records and the order in which they appear. You can delete, rearrange and insert fields and constants.
OVERLAY: Reformat each record by specifying just the items that overlay specific columns. Overlay lets you change specific existing columns without affecting the entire record.

For more information read the document named "DFSORT Getting Started.pdf" which you will find in this forum.

shchan,
If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
