PTF UK51706 for z/OS DFSORT V1R5 and PTF UK51707 for z/OS DFSORT V1R10 (Nov, 2009) provide important enhancements to DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL for various types of two file join applications (JOINKEYS, JOIN, REFORMAT, JKFROM); date field conversions (Y2x, Y4x, TOJUL, TOGREG, WEEKDAY, DT, DTNS); merge operations (MERGE operator); alternate ddnames for MERGE (MERGEIN); easier migration from other sort products, and more.

For complete details on these new features, see my "User Guide for DFSORT PTFs UK51706 and UK51707" paper (sortugpg.pdf) at:

Frank, Kolusu,

I didn't come on the forums for a long time... And when I decide to give a glance, it's just the day where... I wonder if you didn't develop mystic and undocumented features... There are strange things I can't explain an other way...

(I'm supposed to revisit my tasks tomorrow... you know why Smile

Only the shadow knows (queue the music from X-files). Laughing

The Nov, 2009 PTF is now available. Ask your System Programmer to install it (it's free).
