Duplicate ddnames z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide SC23-6878-00 |
|
If you specify a particular ddname (such as SORTIN) more than once within the same step, DFSORT uses the first ddname and ignores subsequent duplicates. Processing continues normally. In addition, SORTIN0, SORTIN1...SORTIN9 can be specified instead of SORTIN00, SORTIN01...SORTIN09, respectively.
If you specify both SORTINn and SORTIN0n in the same job step, DFSORT
treats them as duplicates, and ignores each usage after the first.
For example, SORTIN2 and SORTIN02 are treated as duplicates and only
SORTIN2 is used.
Note: For a Conventional merge, SORTINn
will not be recognized because of the existing restriction which allows
only SORTIN01, SORTIN02...SORTIN16. Duplicates of these accepted ddnames
will be ignored.
Duplicate OUTFIL ddnames are ignored at the OUTFIL statement level as explained in OUTFIL statements notes.
