Issue/Introduction

When loading a Datacom DBUTLTY backup, can the SORTDFLT=YES option for a database-level LOAD be used in addition to an area-level LOAD?

Resolution

Yes, SORTDFLT=YES works fine at both the area and database-level LOAD. Note that to achieve the benefit of this option, it is required to specify a SORT= value greater than zero.
