Hi

We have coniditional copying like INCLUDE and OMIT which will copy a set of records based on that condition. In the same way can we have the same option for SORT too like sort only those records when they meet certain criteria.Means the same INCLUDE and OMIT.

Does this makes meaningful??

Amar,

The INCLUDE and OMIT statements can be used with SORT, MERGE and COPY.

This Figure may be helpful - it gives an overview of the DFSORT functions available with SORT, MERGE and COPY and the order in which they are processed:
