subject: 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

SF = Spool File
Looks like it went to output queue P1, the default one that is locked
down tighter than Fort Knox.
 *...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5 
'CQ04079N026QSPL      *FILE             Q297026721S'

'                 SAF330    LAURIER   366816       '

Anyway, it should not have automatically printed.

How do I search this audit journal for more activity on this spool file?
