I'm no expert! But it occurs to me that perhaps you could use the
INREC to put the parsed data into a fixed location and SORT on that
location. The use the OUTREC to strip out that inserted data. I have
no idea if this is workable or not. I just thought I'd throw it into

Calling all DF/SORT experts: Is it possible to parse a field from the

PARSE=(%22=(STARTAFT=C'something',ENDBEFR=C'else)',FIXLEN=10)),

My recollection of this (it's been awhile) is that the system will generate the

It used to be worth while to allocate the VTOC so that the last track

This allowed multi-track search CCWs to be used.

A multi socket rack server with 24 cores costs peanuts these days. Probably
less than the effort of porting R with the cost of the fortran license. And
those parallel processing algorithms would probably run better on a NUMA

The VS/Fortran (compiler and library) is indeed stuck in Fortran 77 and there
seems to be no XL/Fortran for z/OS or even z/Linux. It might be a
quasi-interesting excercise compiling all the Fortran modules in the R source
code in VS/Fortran (I suspect that most if not all will compile alright)
