difference between internal sort and external sort
Internal sort is handled by a cobol program using i/p file,work file and o/p file.
Internal sort is when you do any processing you need to recompile the cobol program
External sort is performed through jcl where you provide SORTIN and SORTOUT datasets and its easier to perform this sort as any changes, will require only submitting the jcl.

How to execute 300 steps in a Job?
In all our JOB Statement we have always COND=(4,LT) defined. Nevertheless when a Job failed the last step should then be executed (send a message to an user). Due to we don't like to change all our JOB's (ca. 2000), we are looking for a simply solution.
