Migrating to DFSORT from other sort products
If you are migrating to DFSORT, you should run an ICETOOL DEFAULTS report to review the installation defaults set at your site. In particular, the options shown in the table that follows can make DFSORT operate more like other sort products, thus making migration easier. The installation options, described in z/OS DFSORT Installation and Customization, change the way DFSORT works globally by default. The run-time options, described in Invoking DFSORT with Job Control Language and Using DFSORT program control statements, can be used to override the installation defaults for specific jobs.
