A table, headed “SYNCSORT PARASORT ESOTERIC UNIT NAME TABLE,” is printed at the end of each part (Part 1 and Part 2) of the PARASORT report. It is also printed at the end of any customized PARASORT report you generate.
The table should display the exact unit names application programmers must use on the SORTIN and SORTPARn DD statements for a PARASORT application. Once you have implemented the suggested esoteric unit name definitions, distribute the appropriate table (from Part 1, Part 2, or customized report) to PARASORT application developers.
If you like, you can change the esoteric unit names from the suggested names before distributing the table.
Responding to System Configuration Changes
If the tape configuration at your installation changes, you may need to change the esoteric unit name definitions to ensure continued channel separation for PARASORT. To do this, simply repeat the 3-step procedure just described.
