Which version of syncsort do you have?. Query support is available from 1.2, If I remember correctly.
Thanks,
Arun |

Yes ! Its 1.2 !
Also DB2 support works with PGM=SYNCSORT, but I need to know how it works with SYNCTOOL |

When a SORT or COPY DB2 Query application is invoked from a program (i.e., SYNCTOOL), specify the DB2 parameter in the $ORTPARM DD statement.
Just out of curiosity, why is SYNCTOOL required? Is this an existing application that you want to add a DB2 Query component? If so, could the SYNCTOOL application be converted to a SORT application? |

I didnot understand this. Moreover, I execute SYNCTOOL thru JCL.

There is no such perticular application I require this for. As a matter of curiosity I was just looking for it. Also I always prefer SYNCTOOL over simple sort as it allows multiple sorting/copying in a single step. |

To initiate a SORT or COPY with the DB2 Query facility using job control statements, specify PARM='DB2=dsn' on the EXEC statement. (The dsn referred to in the DB2 parameter is the DB2 subsystem name to be accessed).
| Code: |
| //STEP1 EXEC PGM=SYNCSORT,PARM='DB2=DSN1' |
However, when a program other than SYNCSORT (or one of its aliases) is being executed, the DB2 parameter must be specified on the $ORTPARM DD statement:
| Code: |
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SYNCTOOL
//$ORTPARM DD *
DB2=DSN1 |
Hope this clarifies it for you. |
