Figure 1. PARASORT EXEC Statement

DD Statements

PARASORT’s DD statement requirements are summarized in the following table. One additional DD type (SORTPARn) is required compared to a conventional disk sort.

Table 1. PARASORT DD Statements

//SYSIN 

DD

Control statement data set. Used unless control statements are supplied via an invoking program parameter list.

//SYSOUT 

DD

Message data set. Required unless all messages are routed to console.

//SORTWKxx 

DD

Disk work area definition. Required unless DYNALLOC is specified.

//SORTIN 

DD

SORT input data set. Required.

//SORTPARn 

DD

Defines additional tape units for parallel reading of SORTIN. Required.

//SORTOUT 

DD

Output data set. Required unless there is an E35. Ignored if the invoking program supplies an inline E35 exit routine; optional if the MODS state­ment activates an E35 exit routine.

//SORTXDUP 

DD

Output data set for records deleted by DUPKEYS. Required if XDUP parameter used.

//SORTXSUM 

DD

The SORTIN and SORTPARn DD statements are discussed below. For a discussion of the other DD statements, which are specified for PARASORT just as for a non-PARASORT Disk Sort, see JCL and Sample JCL/Control Statement Streams.
