>> DFSORT issues a message that I have exceeded the sort input record maximum. Chuck,
As Steve smith pointed out it Is your EQUALS parm that is limiting the number of records to be sorted. Do you really need EQUALS ( which is retain the order of duplicates). ? If you don't need it then you can pass NOEQUALS as an option OPTION NOEQUALS SORT FIELDS=(P,M,F,A) Or Simply SORT FIELDS=(P,M,F,A),NOEQUALS Btw if you are running on Z15 and higher you can use sort accelerator(with OPTION ZSORT) which does NOT have that limit. Further if you have any questions please let me know Thanks, Sri Hari Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
