VSE Sort Migration 
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. VSE 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 VSE JCL sort software, first propagated by IBM in DF-SORT.

CoSort provides a free sort card conversion utility called VSE2SCL 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.
