Program invoked DFSORT with the extended parameter list

z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide
SC23-6878-00

Table 1 shows where each sort, merge, or copy option may be specified when DFSORT is program invoked and an extended parameter list is passed to it.

DFSPARM: PARM options selectively override corresponding options in any other source. DEBUG and OPTION control statement options selectively override corresponding options in SORTCNTL and the Parameter List. Control statements other than DEBUG and OPTION completely override corresponding control statements in SORTCNTL and the Parameter List.

SORTCNTL: DEBUG and OPTION control statement options selectively override corresponding options in the Parameter List. Control statements other than DEBUG and OPTION completely override corresponding control statements in the Parameter List.

SORT and MERGE are considered to be corresponding control statements.

INCLUDE and OMIT are considered to be corresponding control statements.

Table 1. Extended Parameter List DFSORT Option Specification/Override. Options are arranged alphabetically on the Installation column. If "NO" is specified in the Installation column, move to the next column to the left and so on. The order of override is from left to right and from top to bottom within a row.
