Summary of changes by Release Lists the changes to each Release of DFSORT for reference and historical perspective. |
| User Guide for PTF UK90013 Documents the important enhancements provided to DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL by z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90013 for find and replace; group operations; sorting data between headers and trailers; keeping or removing the first n records, last n records and/or specific relative records; selecting the first n duplicate records; splicing with non-blank fields; displaying and writing counts; reports with multiple and multipart titles; reports without carriage control characters; additional defaults; easier migration from other sort products, and more. |
User Guide for PTFs UK90007 and UK90006 Documents the important enhancements provided to DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL by z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90007 and DFSORT R14 PTF UK90006 for extracting variable position/length fields (e.g. CSV, delimited fields, keyword separated fields, etc) into fixed parsed fields; justifying and squeezing data; comparing and inserting past and future date constants; testing for numerics and non-numerics; displaying hexadecimal floating-point values as integers; splitting files contiguously; suppressing page ejects in reports; using symbols for output columns; using system symbols (e.g. &SYSPLEX) in symbol constants; reformatting records before selecting or splicing; sorting and merging with larger PD and ZD fields; easier migration from other sort products, and more. |
| User Guide for PTFs UQ95214 and UQ95213 Documents the important enhancements provided to DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL by z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UQ95214 and DFSORT R14 PTF UQ95213 for conditionally reformatting records; overlaying only selected parts of records; larger numeric fields and constants; new data formats for extracting digits, and displaying TOD and ETOD date and time values; restarting sequence numbers; join and match operations; date and time constants; conversion of statistical and count values; reports; easier migration from other sort products, and more. |
PTF UQ90053 User Guide Documents the important enhancements provided to DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL by DFSORT R14 PTF UQ90053, and incorporated into z/OS DFSORT V1R5, for join and match operations, sampling, repeating and distributing records, arithmetic operations using numeric fields and decimal constants, longer fields for substring searches, easier migration from other sort products, and more. |
