Unless you are really out of the ordinary, I would expect the use of SORTWKnn on tape to be rare. AFAIK, It's purpose was for large sorts in the ancient days of expensive disk. It took extra effort to set-up. I believe we had one job back in the 80's and it was changed away from TAPESORT at some time in the 90's.

Yes . That would work fine in the case of scheduled jobs . But in our shop,there is one more challenge that we have a lot of Auto-sched jobs (jobs that are trigerred externally from an MQ server ). And i do not know how many of them use tape sorting . This makes the task more difficult . ________________________________ From: Paul Gilmartin <paulgboul...@aim.com> To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Sent: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 8:15 PM Subject: Re: Syncsort v1.4 doesn't support Tape sorting - Need help !
