Issue/Introduction

Description:

Add external sort parameters.

Solution:

Add DD statement SORTCNTL (for CA-SORT) or DFSPARM (for DFSORT and SYNCSORT) to the CA Easytrieve JCL to pass information for the extra sort parameters. This will enable the sort utility to run with these specific parameters.

For example with DFSORT: 

//DFSPARM DD * 
EQUALS 
/*
For example with CA-SORT:
//SORTCNTL DD * 
EQUALS 
/*
