SORT on the iSeries...

List,

This is an iSeries newbie question so please bare with me. We are getting 
started on the project of migrating applications (all batch) from VSE 
(mainframe) to iSeries. I was "told" by someone that is a long-time AS/400 
person that "there is no system sort on the iSeries". I find that very hard 
to believe. There must be some system provided sorting mechanism. I see that 
ILE/COBOL fully supports the SORT verb so that must be interfacing with a 
system-provided utility.

I searched for "sort" in the iSeries information center and could not find 
any explicit references to a sort program or utility.

Perhaps the person meant that there is no "sort program" that you can 
explicitly execute in batch (as you can in the VSE world). Could someone 
authoratively clear this up for me please? TIA
