Explain The Difference Between An Internal And An External Sort, The Pros And Cons, Internal Sort Syntax Etc? |
|
Answer» An external sort is not COBOL; it is performed through JCL and PGM=SORT. It is understandable without any code reference. An internal sort can use two different syntaxs: 1.) USING, GIVING sorts are COMPARABLE to external sorts with no EXTRA FILE processing; 2) INPUT PROCEDURE, OUTPUT PROCEDURE sorts ALLOW for data manipulation before and/or after the sort.
