DFSORT is IBM's sort product. Syncsort is Syncsort's sort
product. CA-Sort is CA's sort product(CA-Computer
Associates).

PGM=SORT or PGM=ICEMAN will invoke the sort product used at
your site which could be DFSORT, Syncsort or CA-SORT.

If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL,
I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started".
It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that
will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and
DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of
the other DFSORT books, from:
