DFSORT is called to sort the indd data set to the outdd data sets using the DFSORT control statements in xxxxCNTL. You must supply a DFSORT SORT statement in the xxxxCNTL data set to indicate the control fields for the sort. You can use additional DFSORT statements in the xxxxCNTL data set to sort a subset of the input records (INCLUDE or OMIT statement; SKIPREC and STOPAFT options; OUTFIL INCLUDE, OMIT, SAVE, STARTREC, ENDREC, SAMPLE, SPLIT, SPLITBY, and SPLIT1R operands; user exit routines), reformat records for output (INREC, OUTREC, and OUTFIL statements, user exit routines), and so on. The active locale's collating rules affect SORT processing as explained in SORT control statement. If an INCLUDE or OMIT statement or an OUTFIL INCLUDE or OMIT operand is specified in the xxxxCNTL data set, the active locale's collating rules affect INCLUDE and OMIT processing as explained in the "Cultural Environment Considerations" discussion in INCLUDE control statement. The DYNALLOC option is passed to DFSORT to ensure that work space
is available for the sort. If your installation defaults for dynamic
allocation are inappropriate for a SORT operator, you can take one
of the following actions:
