Re: SORT LIBRARIES FOR MUSIC WANTED.


 

DSORT is a MUSIC sort routine, not MVS. Music ran either standalone or under VM, but never MVS.

Page 633 of the User Guide shows how to call it from PL/I.

Hi everyone:

I'm working with PL/I under MUSIC/SP under HERCULES simulator.

I want to sort a file, by several keys, But MUSIC Documentation says, the standard IBM libraries , still used today,PLISRTX are not available under music and that one can use SORT,MNSORT or DSORT.

Thing is SORT is just one key sort subroutine , MNSORT, is an user interfase multiple key application and DSORT a multiple key subroutine, that can be called from FORTRAN, COBOL OR PL/I. But DSORT is missing in MUSIC.

I managed to write a rexx script to call MNSORT, send parameters, but this is not possible from within PLI(f), with no spawn capability.

I found thar PLISORTX and DSORT were part of the original MVS for IBM/360, but it is beyond my means to rebuild that libraries from source code.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get those losto sort libraries and install them in MUSIC ?

Regards
