Hi,

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between 'outrec' and 'outrec fields' and also 'include' and 'include cond' usage in sort jcl.

Thanks & Rgds

If you were to look at the dfsort Application Programming guide,
found here: www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=114&uid=isg3T7000080

and go to Chapter 3, There is a summary of all CONTROL Statements (OUTREC, INCLUDE) and each has its own major topic that lists the paramerters (cond for INCLUDE, fields for OUTREC).

INCLUDE is a control statement.

COND is an operand on the INCLUDE statement.

OUTREC is a control statement.

BUILD (preferred) or FIELDS is an operand on the OUTREC statement.

OUTFIL is a control statement.

INCLUDE is an operand on the OUTFIL statement.

BUILD (preferred) or OUTREC is an operand on the OUTFIL statement.

The following figure may help you put it all together:
