For its sort requirements, the ADACDC utility uses a standard sort function installed in the operating system.
Note:
Special sorts of the primary output file and the transaction file are required if ADACDC
is to be run for a file for which ISNs can be reused (ADADBS or ADALOD ISNREUSE is
specified). For complete information, read Using ADACDC With ISNREUSE.
No additional job steps are required by ADACDC when the sort function is invoked. However, depending on the amount of data to be sorted, the ADACDC job step may require additional sort-related DD statements for work files or for other sort-specific facilities. Refer to the sort documentation for more details.
Note:
A sort package generally supplies summary information when a SYSOUT DD statement is
specified.
When ADACDC invokes sort, it expects by default to transfer control to a load module named 'SORT'. If the sort module has a different name, you must reassemble and link the Adabas options module ADAOPD, specifying the name of the external sort program as follows:
Modify the OPDOS member, specifying the name of the sort program in parameter SORTPGM=.
Modify and run member ASMLOPD to assemble and link the module ADAOPD.
