Answer / vikas pujar

1) Sortcard to merge two files will be
//Sysin dd *
Sort fields=copy
/*

2) When try two merge two files using sort, first thing to see is they are of same length. If they are not, change the length of one equal to other in one more step which come prior to sort step.

Answer / vikas pujar

Continuation to last answer. If the input files are of VB, even if length vary, files will be merged. The file with Max
RECFM and BLKSIZE will be used for output. But for FB files RECFM should be same.
