I just want to clarify that the sort step with "//SYSIN DD *"
is sort input dataset on which field bases and what is in the output.
| Code: |
//SRTCUSIP EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=input.dataset,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=output.dataset.sort,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// UNIT=SMS,SPACE=(TRK,(1000,1000),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD *

| SYSIN would contain the sort control statements. SORTIN would contain the data to be sorted. |

| And SORTOUT is the output. In general, SYSIN (System Input) is a data definition (DD) statement used to begin an in-stream data set. |

Apart from using instream data, we can also write the sort control statements in a member of a PDS and specify it as:
//SYSIN DD DSN=<Library_Name>(<Member_Name>)
This is generally useful while using procedures as procedures should not contain instream data. |

Jitu,
Just FYI .
Sort control statements can also be coded using SYSIN DD DATA. |

Or
| Code: |
| //SYSIN DD DDN=YOUR.SORTCTL.PDS(THISSORT),DISP=SHR |
or even some qsam dataset (as is often done when the sort control is generated from an earlier process in the job). . .
