question on sortwork file for internal sort...

List,

I am busy writing my source filter program for converting COBOL programs 
from the mainframe to ILE/COBOL. Some questions please....

1) Is it necessary to define a SELECT for the sortwork file for an internal 
COBOL SORT?

2) If #1 is yes, could someone provide an example of the SELECT and FD for 
the sortwork file?

3) If anyone out there is familiar with the differences between mainframe 
and iSeries concerning this, is there anything else I need to be aware of on 
this topic?
