SORT command z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol II SC19-3628-00 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The SORT primary command sorts the data set list by the specified field. Use this format: >>-SORT--+----------------------------------+------------------>< '-field1--+---+--+---------------+-' +-A-+ '-field2--+---+-' '-D-' +-A-+ '-D-' where:
For example, to sort a data set list by volume and block size within
each volume, use this command:
If you do not specify a field, ISPF sorts the list by data set
name. The keywords described in Table 1 tell
ISPF by which fields to sort the data set list.
Automatic scrolling is performed, if necessary, to bring the major sort field into view. ISPF displays a progress status pop-up panel when the necessary information to perform a SAVE or SORT primary command has to be retrieved and the data set list comprises 50 or more data sets. The keyboard locks when this pop-up panel appears and stays locked until the SAVE or SORT command is completed. This happens regardless of the setting of Display Total Tracks option and the value entered in the Initial View field. Note: When Display Total Tracks is ON and Initial View =
2 (Space) or 4 (Total), the pop-up panel appears during the data set
list display when it comprises 50 or more data sets and all the track
information is to be retrieved. When the SORT command is subsequently
issued the pop-up is not displayed as the data is already available.
