Suppose if you want to sort a file TEST.OUTPUT.FILE which
is the output of your COBOL program then you can do the
following coding in JCL,

//SORTIN DD DSN=TEST.OUTPUT.FILE,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=TEST.OUTPUT.SORT.FILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=TESTDA,
// SPACE=(CYL,(50,50)),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,5,CH,A)

Now the sorted file TEST.OUTPUT.SORT.FILE will be sorted
based on the field starting from 1 to 5 specified in the
input for SORT.

For rewrite, why is it mandatory that file needs to be opened?

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
