When search all is used in cobol program without sorted
input data?

Answer Posted / rookie

I think answer#2 is correct.
But i think the main intention of the question was what if
we dont sort the input data will the Search all work or not
work?

So if this is what intended by the question,than i think
that definately Search all will work but it will give
unpredictable results.

Correct me if i am wrong, in this scenario.

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
