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.

in job stmt i coded time=(2,30) and in step 1 i coded time=(1,30) and in step i coded time=(1,30), whch one executes first and what happens if step1 and step2 time executes and wht about the remaining time if step and step2 executes
How many types we can give input to JCL
How can we increment subscript and index?
is there any utility for restarting a particular step in jcl reply soon ?
lines(1,cancel)??What is meant by that??Plz explain it....
What is Automatic Restart ? EXEC PGM = PROG1, RD = R (Is it the Restart of a JOBSTEP or Restarting the execution of the program?) Do we Restart it or it automatically Restarts executing again and again ? Then when it will finish executing ? or After Abending, when we submit it again, then it is Restarted from the Last successful Checkpoint ? If some JOBSTEP is abending, what is the benifit to Restart it, WILL IT NOT ABEND AGAIN if you don't change the LOGIC ?
Hi Please try to be to-the-point. 1) How to INCLUDE a JCL segment in a JOB ? (A Small example) 2) What is SPOOL and what is SPOOL FULL ? and how to direct the output of a Jobstep to SPOOL ?
If Name is NOT given for a JOB statement, then will it give error or installation will supply it for the JOB ?
why should SYSIN DD * statement should not be included inside a PROCedure snippet??? please answer this.. i need to know.
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.
Explain how can return codes be tested before execution of a job step?
How different is the JCL executing a COBOL program? 1) if the program is using VB file as input. 2) if the program is using FB file as input.
