Is delete necessary? (Does sort require a new (pathopts=OEXCL) file?

Why SORT rather than IEBGENER?
o I wouldn't expect Kolusu to suggest anything else.
o A co-worker long ago told me that SYNCGENR outperforms IEBGENER.
o Bur IEBGENER will copy attributes from SYSUT1 to SYSUT2.
o I suggest a private subdirectory of /tmp, with a meaningful name.

What's "!cp"? I don't understand the "!"
Ah! on further review, shell negation.
Perhaps:
if cp ...
then
sftp ...
else
echo "cp failed with status $?." >&2
fi
Or:
cp ... || {
echo "cp failed with status $?." >&2
exit 1; }
sftp ...
