Hi all,
I have one query regarding sort in COBOL:
"How many Max files we can sort inside a cobol program? & how to get that particular figure i.e the mathematical calculation for that?"
Please let me know if anyone have clear idea about this. |

i think we can use 3273 DD statements for an EXEC statement. so we can use 3272 files at a time for a program that uses SORT statement. It all depends how many we use as input, output, work file.
corrections welcomed.

| Ok actually I thought of other way. As we need 3 Sort Work files(min) for each Sort in Cobol and we can have 100 sortwork files at max(0-99) in a Step, so the Max files that can be sort in one Cobol program is 33(100/3).I am not sure though. Let me know if anyone think other way. |
