DFSORT's BUILD parameter can be used for INREC, OUTREC, OUTFIL and IFTHEN. The advantage is simplicity.
For the INREC and OUTREC statements, the BUILD parameter is identical to the FIELDS parameter. For the OUTFIL statement, the BUILD parameter is identical to the OUTREC parameter. The reason I added BUILD to DFSORT is to have ONE parameter you can use for INREC, OUTREC, OUTFIL and IFTHEN. So instead of remembering to use FIELDS for INREC, FIELDS for OUTREC, and OUTREC for OUTFIL, you can just use BUILD for all of them, as well as for IFTHEN. Likewise, you can use OVERLAY for INREC, OUTREC, OUTFIL and IFTHEN. |
