RE: system-wide configuration for system SORT?

Wondering the same thing myself....

AFAIK, there's nothing inherently built into user spaces that force them into memory.

Since they are objects, I suppose you could use SETOBJACC. Again though, you need a special subsystem
and private pool.

Not to mention, they don't help the original poster with FMTDTA.

I suppose, you could write your own sort routine using the qsort() ILE function but even with that,
the records in the user space to be sorted might be in memory, but you can't control where the working
storage comes from.

Hmmm...how would that work?

Michael,

User spaces are the means to allocate some memory in which to run a

List,

Is there a way to configure the system SORT (FMTDTA?) concerning
defaults, etc?

For example, on the mainframe, I have our SORT configured

such that

every sort, whether it be in-stream or from a COBOL

program, gets a

4MB dataspace (memory area) for its primary work area. Only after
that space is exhausted does it begin to use disk for

sort-work. I

would like to see if there are options like that supported in
FMTDTA. I've been searching the archives and the iSeries

Information

Center but can't find where default settings for SORT can be
configured. Surely there is a way to do this isn't there? TIA
