C supports "normal" assembler parameter lists. It's an option, PLIST(OS). Search the manuals for how it all works. As I recall you get a void** variable named _r1 that points to what you would expect R1 to point to.
I would *guess* you could make it work but I am far from an expert on SORT exits.

If so, what would the > fourth exit parameter be set to? "C" like for COBOL, or "N" for none? I'm an Assembler guy - I don't use C - so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. However, I suppose it depends on which type of exit parameter list C can take advantage of (if either). The Assembler exit lists are simple ones whereas the COBOL exit lists are more complex. Both are described in the DFSORT book here: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ICE1CA50/4.0?DT=2 0100630155256 You would use N in the MODS statement for a routine that uses the Assembler exit list, or C in the MODS statement for a routine that uses the COBOL exit list. Maybe somebody who actually uses C can give you a better answer.
