OS/400 will take care of whatever is needed for a COBOL sort.  You don't 
even need a CL to run the COBOL with a sort.  (Although I'm sure there are 
other reasons you might be using a CL.)

subject: Re: [COBOL400-L] question on sortwork file for internal
   sort...

I appreciate all the responses. What, if any, special code needs to be 
specified in the CL to support COBOL sort work files? Or is it 
"auto-magically" handled by the operating system?

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?
