Sort is a utility using which we can sort a VSAM/ NON-VSAM
file in a perticuler order i.e Assending or Discendin.
Internal Sort - It is a process to sort the file using JCL
External Sort - It is a process to sort the file using
cobol program .

of them

Sum fields = NONE to elemintae duplicate records
sort fields = (start postion , number of characters , type,

In COBOL CALL-CALLING,if a program A is calling 3 sub- programs, dynamically, then it is said sub-programs will always will always in Initial Mode. My question is : Do we need to code CANCEL or (IS INITIAL) for dynamically called sub-programs or it is the property of Dynamically called pgms so every time sub-pgms are called they will be in initial mode. ***This question is only Dynamic call****, Please reply. Thank you in advance.
