| I have always heard that internal sorts are bad and you should always use an external sort if possible. |

If you do an internal sort with an INPUT PROCEDURE and an OUTPUT PROCEDURE you can use any file type COBOL supports, or even screen input and output. |

Opinions vary. . .
Many years ago, the "pure" systems programmers were dead set against the internal sort.
There are many times the SORT verb works quite nicely. It can often turn 3 steps with restart considerations into a single step. |
