Proven Conversion and Performance in JCL Sort Rehosting
Projects
Challenges:
You need to re-host, and eventually expand from, your legacy sort product operations when migrating to open systems. MVS JCL sort steps will not work in a Unix shell or Windows command line environment. Parm conversion will be necessary.
You are looking for functional equivalence, equal or better sorting performance,
lower operational costs, a more modern application syntax, and support for
more data transformation and reporting functionality.
Solutions:
The CoSort package's
Sort Control Language (SortCL) program
is the destination for sort parms written for MVS JCL sort software, first
propagated by IBM in DF-SORT.
CoSort provides a free sort card conversion utility
called MVS2SCL to translate the relevant sort (select, sum, etc.) steps
from a JCL stream into a functionally-equivalent SortCL job specification
file. Metadata is converted and accommodations are made for multiple output
and data types.
Beyond rehosting lies a wide range of available data
transformation, reporting, protection, and prototyping functionality
that allows you to consider more operational possibilities subsequent
to the migration, within the same product, at no additional charge.
