What are the keywords associated with DCB? How can you
specify DCB information? What is the OS precedence for
obtaining that DCB information, ie. where does the system
look for it first?
Answer Posted / guest
The keywords associated with the DCB parameter are LRECL,
RECFM, BLKSIZE and DSORG. The DCB information can be
supplied in the DD statement. The system looks for DCB
information in the program code first.

which utility is used to sort a file in jcl?
1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
